| Advice & Discussions | Need help learning to live on my own without parents money
So tomorrow is Christmas morning. Tomorrow morning I get the pleasure of waking up only to suck up to my mother to make HER day perfect.
First off, my mother is what I've pretty much diagnosed by researching online and talking to my gf who is a psychology major, with Narcissistic Disorder. | Money issues / Arguing about food
Ok long story short, my son got a part-time job during is winter break. I told him that he should give me his paychecks, and that I will deposit them, and I will dispense it to him as needed on a weekly basis. I do not think he is necessarily wasteful. | Stressed about family money troubles!!
Hi there - I am looking for a little advice. I know that people will have different opinions on this, I am interested in hearing them - but please no argumentitive ones!!!!!! - too many of them around :crazyeye:
First a few Details ..... My parents are in quite abit of debt, debt as in they owe alot on credit cards, loans etc, but they are managing it! They are meeting the repayments each month on all that they owe - mortgage, bills and the above, so they are not in trouble, they just dont have any spare money for other things!
I on the other hand (I am 27, bought own house with husband at 22, so been gone for 5 yrs) earn quite alot of money!! < at the moment)!!!. | It bothers me how excited my sister is over our money from our dad.
When my dad died, he left each of us a trust with a lot of money in it, and she already got hers, because we get them when we turn 25, and i get mine next week. Well, shes all 'are you excited for the money!?' well... honestly, not really. I know she loves our dad and all and misses him, but how am i supposed to be excited over money i wouldnt have if my dad were still here? I'd rather have my dad. | Money for your kid.....
When it comes to becoming a parent and raising your kid for around 18-20 plus years, on who is more money wasted on a boy or girl???
Explained why if possible....
I think it's on us due to earrings, dresses when we're little. Then as a grown up many like fancy jewels for their birthday. |
