How can I add money to my Apple Account under Family Sharing without the principal holder?

I am part of a Family Membership and the principal holder is not me - do I need to ask the principal holder to add money so that I can buy the app I need.

Each time I have tried to add money it tells me it is declined.

Thank you.

Is there no way to have a user in a family group pay for their own apps without having money in their Apple Account balance? (ie use their own credit card) I'm in a family share group. Dad set it up. (I'm 48 BTW.) If I want to buy an app, he has to pay for it. Is there no way to let me use my credit card to buy what I want?!?
