Mom insists her 23-year-old daughter, who has financially supported her for 5 years, send her and her 5 other adult children $1K per month: ‘If my mom supported me financially growing up I would have, but she didn’t’
I’ve never understood when aging parents solely rely on their kids to support them through retirement financially. These parents often use the justification that their children owe them moola for all of the years they spent raising them or they just failed to plan to support themselves into retirement. Some adult children feel great pride …

Controlling European roommate tells roommate not to use the oven because the electricity costs too much despite the electricity costing €20.37 a month split between 3 people: ‘I was using the oven for exactly 10 minutes’
Sometimes, the controlling roommate is right. I really don’t like telling my roommates what to do or vice versa, but if the monthly AC bill is $400 for a small apartment, that’s worth discussing. Regarding bills, chores, and the general atmosphere, it’s the responsibility of all roommates to contribute positively instead of taking advantage of …

You can’t build a life with somebody if you aren’t financially on the same page. I’m not saying that a poor person can never marry a rich person or a saver should never be with a spender, but you have to be realistic about the kind of future you can have with someone whose robbing …
