My parents had to move across the country for work so there’s less help from them and they’re in their 60s and unable to retire. The cycle of poverty is real and very hard to get out of it.

I’m a single mom with a $75k income and what I’ve realized with my spending is that a lot of it is spending because of guilt of his dad not being there. Because I have a void I need to fill for Both of us, especially him and that’s what I see here with her sending her son to private school. It’s a need to give him those opportunities and know that she can provide just as well for him as her and the father could together. I bet she’s working a stressful job with long hours and still getting dinner on the table every night and getting her son to practice in the evenings. I understand you love and you’re not alone. 💙

@@martinezbiz You are too confident in your positions and your statements are based upon mountains of assumptions. The cost of living varies wildly across the country. It is entirely possible she is living below the poverty line on $83k gross depending on where she lives in the country. And that is without considering her unique circumstances which could very well be complex and nuanced. It is ok to be more humble and reserve judgement. We do not always need to be on the attack when it comes to others. We should be worried about our own lives and refrain from passing judgment on others. It is not our place or concern.

It's a whole mental thing, to pay off debt. To not use cc's unless its dire. Something is on sale and too good to be true purchase and you buy it, thinking how much you have saved. BUT training the mind to think that that purchase is just going to put you that much more into debt. To imagine the numbers in your bank account going up and the numbers of your cc balances going down...every single time you want to buy something. Its really nice when you change like that, when you look at things as a financial burden rather than a must have.
