I'm betting this goes a little deeper than a coupon. I'm sensing he feels disrespected by you, and perhaps doesn't feel like he's properly appreciated for providing you a place to live, when you're well beyond the age that you should have been living on your own. Seems he resents the situation he's in. Even though you need your parents' help, it's not without its downsides for them. Is your mom more sympathetic toward your situation? If so, there may be resentment he holds toward her for that. I know my dad has never been as compassionate toward me as my mother.
Perhaps if you show him that you appreciate his generosity and show greater respect for the money he works hard for, you'll see him lighten up a bit.
If that is an offbase analysis of your situation, apologies in advance!
