Many of us are hard on ourselves. We feel guilty when we spend time on the “wrong” things, we berate ourselves when we don’t reach our goals, and we forget to be gentle with ourselves when we’re struggling.

What Are Recovery Scams?
Recovery scams have become a sophisticated and distressing form of fraud, targeting individuals who have already been victims of scams.
These scams exploit the vulnerability and desperation of individuals seeking to recover their lost funds or assets.
Understanding how recovery scams work is crucial to avoiding falling prey to them and to help victims recognize and navigate away from further exploitation.
Not All Advice Is Created Equal
You might hear a chorus of “never get married” from the older men in your life. They paint a picture of doom – endless fights, crushing responsibilities, and a complete loss of freedom. It’s enough to make anyone wary!
However, not all advice is created equal. Think about it. Would you ask someone lost in the desert for directions? Probably not. So why take relationship advice from people who haven’t figured things out themselves?
Money Matters: Parent Has No Retirement
I’m almost 30 years old my mother is early 50s with little saved for retirement. She was a single mom raising 3 kids and didn’t have the luxury to save. She has a small 401k with the school (she’s a lunch lady) and makes only about 25k a year. She has a paid off house thanks to my dad that passed away when I was 12.
These past two years have been the first years I’ve made good money. I’ve paid off her credit card debt (7k the card was used to make ends meet and she only paid the minimum), I pay property taxes, power, internet, and insurance for the cars. I’ve got 30k in student loans (low interest rate), 34k auto loan, and no other debt. I’ve got 16K in sep Ira, 7.5k in Roth IRA, 20k emergency fund, and 10k in other bank accounts.
My girlfriend, is about to graduate with her RN and will have no debt. My GF is understanding that I will always support my mom and do everything I can to help her. I’m reaching that stage in life where I want to move out with my GF but I’m worried I’ll struggle to pay for two households. GF wants our privacy and for us to live separately (which I totally understand) just a bit lost on what to do.
