It’s always awkward to talk about money. You never know who has how much, how they got it, and how they feel about it. This is especially true when it comes to family. And if you’re young, it’s even weirder. How much do your parents control your spending? Should they control it at all? Living …

‘All I see is blatant irresponsibility’: Parents of 4 refuse to provide financial assistance to their financially inept son, who deprioritizes household necessities and, instead, unwisely spends his money on things like $600/mo DoorDash orders
If it were up to you, I’m sure you would love to order copious amounts of DoorDash food delivery and tip the delivery drivers 50%. You’d do so comfortably, because I’m sure you would only do so if you had everything else in your household under control. Mortgages, car payments, and childcare are all things …

Uncle sends money to the mother of his brother’s illegitimate child, exposes him as a deadbeat to their extended family: ‘I’ll never let him hear the end of it’
There’s always a question of how much you should mind your own business. I’m certainly not going to eavesdrop on a stranger’s conversation, pass a judgment, and interject to tell them what I think. I would definitely do those first two things, but the third is crossing a line. There’s an art to getting involved …

26-year-old girlfriend forbids boyfriend from accepting a job that’d double his income to $60K because she doesn’t want him working on weekends: ‘We have lived together for 8 years and she said we are done if I accept this job’
It’s extremely common for couples to break up due to one partner getting a new, life-altering job. If your boyfriend of three years gets a job across the country and he wants to move, but you don’t, that’s a highly valid reason to reconsider continuing the relationship. Sure, you could wait six months after he …

Couple asks friend to play at their wedding but cuts him from the guest list, man sues and wins in court after they refuse to pay: ‘I wasn’t even treated like a guest, just free labor’
Weddings in 2025 are more expensive than ever. My aunt who’s been coordinating them for over a decade, says couples need at least $80,000 to get the full experience, covering the venue, catering, flowers, the works. With prices like that, it’s not surprising that some couples look for ways to cut costs. But cutting costs …

26-year-old girlfriend can’t pay rent after spending $800 on a designer purse, freaks out when boyfriend discusses financial responsibility with her: ‘She got defensive and said I was controlling and «didn’t understand women.’
Everything we buy should be categorized into «needs» and «wants.» The most important monthly expenses are rent/house payment, electricity, water, and food. If you can’t afford these things, you’re in deep trouble. After that, you need gas in your car so you can get to work and around the house items like soap and toilet …

Airbnb is one of the key inventions of our century. They’ve opened up the world for travel in important ways. They’ve allowed big groups of people to share a vacation home instead of having to pay a bunch of money for different hotel rooms. They’ve allowed guests to stay in places with regular home amenities …

Parents ask 31-year-old daughter to contribute $5K to her younger sister’s wedding fund after they refused to spend a dime on her wedding 2 years earlier: ‘You and your husband were more established financially. Your sister’s still figuring things out.’
Many people’s parents cover at least part of their wedding costs. I’d say weddings and down payments for houses are the most common large-scale financial gifts aging parents are willing to give their adult children, because they’re setting the foundation for a productive adult life. I know that wealthy parents paying for their kids’ dream …
