My Mother is 65 years old and for many years now my Wife and I have been telling her that she needs to sell her house or rent it and move closer to us. She never has listened. In the past I have also told her there are things she shouldn’t be spending money on.
TODAY….she calls me and says there’s a problem I can resolve and proceeds to tell me she can’t pay her mortgage so to give her $5000 dollars. So as the finance guru I am I start asking her the real questions since she makes less than 30k a year.
“I’m sick of boomers telling gen Z and millennials to “suck it up””
I’m sick of boomers telling gen Z and millennials to “suck it up” when we complain that a $60k or less salary shouldn’t force us to live mediocre lives living “frugally” like with roommates, not eating out, not going out for drinks, no vacations.
Like no, we NEED these things just to survive this capitalistic hellscape boomers have allowed to happen for the benefit of the 1%.
We should guarantee EVERYONE be able to afford their own housing, a month of vacation every year, free healthcare, student loans paid off, AT A MINIMUM.
Gen Z should not have to struggle just because older generations struggled. Give everything to us NOW.

Life Matters: “I finally realized how exhausting it all is.”
Typical weekday: Wake up. Put on clothes. Brush teeth. Wash face. Make coffee. Sit down at desk to start the work day. Read the news/see what’s going on in the world. Work…avoid work…work…avoid work. Check social media for no reason. Check my stocks that never make money. Avoid laundry. Avoid cleaning cat vomit. Do some online shopping for household items. Avoid opening delivery boxes/mail. More work. Make lunch. Clean kitchen. Clean cat vomit. Open packages. Maybe go for a walk. Back to work. Do some laundry. More work. Maybe work out. Make dinner. Clean dinner. Watch some mindless TV. Pretend to care about sports on TV. Shower. Go to bed. Do it all over again the next day.

Marriage Matters: “My husband fell into 2 pig butchering scam in the past 6 months. How can I forgive him?”
My 64 years old husband that I married for 33 years got scammed and they emptied out his entire 401K savings of $210K in the past 6 months. The worse thing was that he fell into the romantic pig butchering scam with 2 different scammers/lovers while I revolved my life around him. Even though we filed report to FBI, IC3, SEC, the money is a total loss since they have gone to the criminal organization rings in Cambodia and Myanmar.
Dating Matters: “How do ugly guys get girlfriends?”
I consider myself quite ugly, I’d say I’m a -40/10, I’m 25 and never had a girlfriend, no girl has ever been interested in me, but whenever we go out my friends get girls swarming all over them. Or should I just give up dating altogether?
First off, I want to acknowledge the courage it takes to open up about feeling like you’re at rock bottom. You’re dealing with a tough mix of self-esteem issues and dating frustrations, but I’m here to throw you a lifeline, not a pity party. Because here’s the thing: your current situation isn’t a life sentence, and your mindset isn’t fixed. You’ve got the power to change the game, and I’m going to show you how.
