Default Re: My mom’s budget.

Isnt this what Whoopin Sticks are for??

(just kidding)

I am (unofficially) in charge of keeping my parents on some-sort of budget...they are in their 70s now....so a little older than your mom.

I pay all of their bills for them and have online access to everything...so I can keep an eye on things. (Sometimes this casuses sensations like wanting to pull your hair out...so be careful what you wish for....lol)

You need to try to get your mom to open her eyes. Believe me, you and your mom will be glad you did when retirement arrives.

Perhaps showing your mom where she is heading...as opposed to where she could be if she 'just tweaked' a few things....Sometimes the 'big picture' will get people to stop and think.

Good luck to you.
