>parents are financially retarded and no matter how hard I try, I cant help them

>> No.22850096

Wish I could help mine. They just want to buy nice things and not work or have savings. But they rage when I suggest anything else.

Yes anon, although I learnt what not to do from their stupidty.

Nothing like being a child having parents fighting over what is literally 2-3 hours work in my life today... Never understood why people fight over like 50 bucks lol.

My parents are mentally retarded and financially retarded it could be worse.

>> No.22850552

>>22850111
the crazy thing is i've been successful in my investments and they still arent interested in saving or investing, or anything i have to say. They literally totally ignore anything I say.

Its like the concept of financial independence is just totally alien to them. Like they couldnt even imagine a world were they were free.

MY RETARD DAD WON’T QUIT CIGARETTES

Well, just set your boundaries. Maybe mention you fear for their future and you don’t plan on facilitating their irresponsibilities. Don’t expect any help if they wont help themselves. And they will never see retirement.

>>22850710
If you’re able to, sit them down for some Dave Ramsey YouTube episodes. Just so they can see that they are not alone, and there’s hope, and many others got out of worse scenarios. If they don’t do it, that’s on them.
