It’s been a rough week for our family. Both my husband and I are feeling under the weather. The fact that we both have to look for work just doesn’t make it any better. I really wish I had finished my college education. I know that so many other doors would be open if I had just finished my Accounting degree.
Then there is my mom. I wouldn’t suggest helping a parent with thier finances to anyone. It’s just put a wall between my mom and I. Our conversation started like this.
“Mom I need you to tell me all about the income that you are getting and what you are spending it on.”
On the outside, her answer is O.K. but later I find out that she has been taking out payday advances after I have been sending her money.
I don’t think I will understand my mother and her thoughts on money. We are like fire and water. She would love to spend her life using credit cards and spending money. I want every penny that I spend down on paper.
Hopefully I’ll figure out a way of teaching her how to save money and just splurge once in a while.
