AM I WRONG FOR BEING UPSET THAT MY 71-YEAR-OLD MOM SPENT HER MONEY ON TRAVELING INSTEAD OF HELPING ME WITH MY BILLS? My mom is retired and has plenty of savings, but instead of helping me pay off my credit card debt, she\’s blowing money on trips to Europe and cruises. She says she\’s \”finally enjoying life,\” but what about my life? I\’m struggling, and she just watches while sipping cocktails on a beach. Parents are supposed to support their kids—not abandon them for vacations. —————————————————————— Hi everyone! Mom here. My response to my child: \”Sweetheart, I worked my whole life, saved carefully, and went without luxuries so you could have everything you needed. Now that I can finally enjoy the world, you expect me to put your financial mistakes ahead of my happiness? I love you, but I won\’t spend my retirement bailing you out while I sit at home. You\’re an adult now—it\’s time to stand on your own feet.\”👇👇👇

I Was Upset My Mom Traveled Instead of Helping Me Financially — But I Was Missing the Bigger Picture. When I read my mom’s text saying she’d spent decades giving me “everything I needed,” I was furious. If that were true, why was I drowning in bills while she was off traveling? I wanted to lash out, but instead, I called her. “Mom, I’m struggling and you’re living it up,” I said. She replied calmly, “This is my time now. I spent years sacrificing for you. But giving you money won’t fix this—you need to figure out how you got here.”That hit hard. She wasn’t being cruel—she was being honest. I had been avoiding my finances, hoping for a bailout. She offered something better: real help.
