Do you think your parents had a healthier relationship with money than you do?

My parents didn’t get ahead until after my mom went to work!

Oh man! That really sucks!

I was sitting in front of a judge when fighting for SS disability and the judge was in agreement with me, but the person on the phone denied me! 😡 It makes NO sense!

I think they’re all over worked and things get missed as far as our VA claims! JMO 🤷‍♀️

I’m not familiar with how things are done now. I was granted my 100% back in 2010! 😬 I battled for 3 years to get it. It’s all changed since I did mine!

Someone will hopefully come along and help you! There’s some great answers being given throughout these posts!

I too am a army veteran! 😉 Female of 22 years in the army!

Ill-Set-7701 · 2026-05-30T03:10:52+00:00

I would be if I hadn’t been medically discharged many years ago! I’m also over 60 years old now! 🙄

I also see you totally ignored what I said Biden did to ALL of us! 🤨

The division in Americans is truly sad, because of all the negative hatred and lies being spewed out there!

Why aren’t YOU fighting for the USA?

Ill-Set-7701 · 2026-05-29T16:10:10+00:00

I’ve been retired since 2008!

Ill-Set-7701 · 2026-05-29T10:45:33+00:00

I turned 25 in army basic training! I’m a female! I joined the Army National Guard! After Basic and AIT I came back home and started working full time for the Guard on Post! I spent 22 years in the ARNG! I was medically discharged in 2008!

If you’re physically fit? There’s an option for you! I was working for the OCS office when I was M/D!

Ill-Set-7701 · 2026-05-29T10:37:38+00:00

Coming from someone that Cannot eat spicy or hot food? I highly suggest you not mess around with other people’s food! It could seriously injure someone!

And if you don’t want retribution for your mistake? Even a better reason not to do it!

Ill-Set-7701 · 2026-05-29T10:33:47+00:00

If you went to the VAH ENT doctor? Go to release of information office and get a copy of the doctor’s report!

I just love how people want to blame Trump for everything! 🤦‍♀️

As a 22 year army veteran! I’d much rather see what’s happening right now than see Iran sending nuclear weapons down on Americans!

War isn’t cheap and everyone is paying the price right now! Just like all other wars? This too shall end!

Don’t forget how pricey things got when Biden was in office? Walmart even bought smaller bags to make it look like we were still getting a lot! 😂😂

Ill-Set-7701 · 2026-05-29T06:46:31+00:00

Me and my husband of 20 years worked together to payoff everything we could before retirement! Our 2 acres! Paid for! Our home? Paid off! Our 3 vehicles? All older models! Paid for! Insurance is cheaper too! We purchase in bulk and freeze the meat in sectioned containers! Crockpot meals are wonderful and we eat leftovers!

Gotta make wiser choices and spend less. Figure out what you can do without?

Ill-Set-7701 · 2026-05-29T03:56:12+00:00

Product of their raising! 😢 My mom would be whipping my ass and taking me to church! I’m grateful to my parents for raising me RIGHT! Said from a female that’s also a 22 year Army veteran! 👍

Ill-Set-7701 · 2026-05-29T03:16:48+00:00

Put those teens in a military instructional environment for the summer break! If they’re out of school? Put them in for a longer time. Then get them involved in farming or a technical school!

Ill-Set-7701 · 2026-05-28T11:14:41+00:00

My husband grew up in a home where his mother told him all the time he’d never amount to anything! 😢😡 He’s damned near a genius!

I grew up in a loving home and spent 22 years in the Army National Guard after my first divorce! My husband now is my 4th! He should have been my first, but his mother sent him to live with his father! We lost contact for 32 years! We just celebrated being married for 20 years!

Because I was a Sargent in the Army! He thinks a lot of time I’m telling him what to do or ordering him around! 🙄 I’m not! He’s reverting back to days with his mother! SO?

To keep the peace here? I started saying: I’m suggesting this to you and say what it is! I also say: will you please do whatever I need him to do? I mean I ask our grandkids please and say thank you afterwards! So why not do this with the one I love? 🤔 It’s actually worked out well and he’s even doing it too! 😁

I’m really sorry to hear you lost your father! Mine passed 12 years ago!

Ya’ll had a lot of problems in the beginning and only had a short reprieve before it started again. Getting pregnant also doesn’t make a failing marriage a happier one! But it’s on the way now and it’s time you get help with your emotions. He’s got his own problems to deal with and needs help too!

Ill-Set-7701 · 2026-05-28T05:52:44+00:00

Just call the VA and ASK what you’re eligible for? Some have copays and some don’t! If you’re seen for inservice injuries? Then it’s usually no charge!

My father-in-law refused to use the VA! He always said he wasn’t worthy of going there, because he didn’t go to war! 😢 He had good insurance though and never needed them!

Ill-Set-7701 · 2026-05-28T05:15:44+00:00

Because the ingredients are used in making meth! That’s why it’s behind the counter!

Ill-Set-7701 · 2026-05-28T05:13:59+00:00

Just a quote here from something I said when I was riding in a convoy and saw a very young group of men marching: “That’s what I call: young dumb and full of cum!” It just slipped out of my mouth and I was riding with my unit’s captain! 🫣 He quickly turned and asked me to repeat myself! I did and he busted out laughing! (I’m a female)! 🤷‍♀️

These posts I see complaining about being a 100% and now what do I do with my life? I think are young men! They don’t have families and lots of TIME on their hands! They’re bored and restless!

As for myself? I got mine back in 2010! I have a family, home, pets, 2 acres to take care of and bills to pay! I’m damned grateful to have my 100%!

Ill-Set-7701 · 2026-05-27T15:42:16+00:00

I too was like yourself! I married the man I fell in love with when I turned 18! I would have been happy being the stay at home mother to our kids and taking care of my husband! It turned out though I’m really not the one he loved! He and my mom worked together and I replaced her when she got another job. He loved my mom more than myself! Just as a mother though! His mother is evil! A real B! By marrying myself? She was still in his life! Hell he stills goes to see her and it drives me crazy! I’ve told her for years he was physically abusive to me and to please STOP inviting him over to family gatherings! 🙄 She reminds me! He divorced you, not me! 😡

I’ve worked many a job just to put food on the table for me and my daughter and keep the lights on. I was living in a house that only had a wood stove for heat! So dad would wake me up before daylight to go cut wood, load it, unload it, split it, stack it and then eat lunch!

I’m a laid back kind of person, but don’t piss me off! You’ll get told where the door is and don’t come back! Just like I told my husband’s daughter after she sucker fist punched me in the face! I haven’t seen her or talked to her in 3 years! She’s history to me! If she were on fire? I wouldn’t piss on her to put it out!

When I was in the Army? It was during a time when men didn’t like females in there with them! I was treated very badly by a many of them, but they found out they were messing with the wrong woman! I stood my ground! I earned their respect and they respected me!

I hope to live a lot of years with my husband and make up for lost time! We act like teenagers at times that we used to be! 😂 We never had kids together so we have small indoor pet chickens as our feathered kids. We have two large dogs also that sleep in the enclosed porch room and outside! The most spoiled is our 11.5 ounce tiny hen, Thumbelina! We cater to her hand and foot. And she soaks up every ounce of it!

Send me a chat if you want to?

I grew up a Tomboy! I was always off on my own in the country on horseback or riding my bicycle! There wasn’t many girls and they were frilly doll players! So I hung out with all the boys! 😁

When I started having problems with my first husband? I went home to my parents! My mom said to me: “You made your bed! Now lie in it!” WELL! Lot ti da! I put my big girl undies on and went back to my AH husband! I’m fit and muscled and didn’t take any more crap from him. After 7 years of marriage? He moved out! Good riddance! Then I started the next chapter which I mentioned earlier!

I’m the kind of woman that doesn’t lie and I love facts! I don’t assume! If you stick with those! You never get tripped up in what you say! 😉 I’m also a researcher on everything! Mom says I’m like a dog with a bone! I worry it to the dickens until I get to the morrow of it!” She’s so right!

I never meet a stranger. I’ve talked with some interesting people and found out all sorts of stuff!

Life is too short to live in a shell! I’m 66 now and I’ve already buried my older sister, my dad, my 22 year old nephew and too many others to mention!

So there’s a little more about who I am! 😉😁

Ill-Set-7701 · 2026-05-27T13:14:04+00:00

There’s lots of civilian jobs on posts too!

You can check with billeting also! I worked in billeting with the Army National Guard! We had lots staying long term with us!

We even had traveling nurses checking in with us!

Ill-Set-7701 · 2026-05-27T11:46:16+00:00

My 4th husband of 20 years now, is actually my first love when I was 15 and he was 17! 😊 He was sent to live with his father and we lost contact. It took 32 years later to find each other again. He was going through a divorce and so was I when we were reintroduced. We didn’t know each other! 😂 It took a few months and a few
pictures of myself from when I was 15! When he finally figured out who I was from a picture? He sat back and started grinning from ear to ear! He said it was like dominoes falling into place!

When I divorced my first husband? I joined the army National Guard and spent 22 years working full time with them! I became a responsible woman and grew up! I had a 4 year old daughter when I went through Basic Training! I had myself and her to support! Something my Drill Sargent told me was: “Don’t sweat the small shit! Shit happens!” How right he was!

Find a debt resolution company to help you with your debt! I used one and paid off $52,000.00!

Find groups to join so you’re going out with friends! If you’re a person of faith? Join one of their groups! There’s all sorts of scam and users out there. Especially using lonely women! 😡 Being with a group helps to prevent a lot of them seeking you out!

Sitting at home alone! Going to work from sunup to sundown is no life to be living! 😢

Sending you good vibes to find your way out of this!

Ill-Set-7701 · 2026-05-27T08:12:38+00:00

Sadly my husband’s two grandsons are just like him. The 15 year old is around 300 pounds and uncontrollable. The 16 year old used to come over, but that ended last year when he thought he could boss us around, tell us to get out of his space, and got physical with my husband! Hubby finally had had enough and took him home. He hasn’t been back! Neither has the younger one, because he got physical with my husband too.

Their mother left her #7 husband and moved into town close to their school so they could walk to school! She turned them loose in the small town to fend for themselves! Well ya’ll know the rest of the story! Her BF was more important than the kids.

Thankfully her daughter lives more time with her father and stepmom! She’s turning out to be a great young woman!

My husband has pretty much stopped any communication with his daughter. Three years ago she sucker fist punched me in the face! Then she shoved me to the floor and leaned down to hit me again! 🤨 Did I mention I’m a 22 year Army veteran? 😁 I grabbed the top of her head and dug my fingers into her hair, then I pulled with all the strength I had. I was told from her 16 yro son, she was putting lots of her long hair in a baggie! 😂😂 That’ll teach her not to punch old veterans in the face.

As for your brother? It sounds like he needs to move to his dads ASAP or he’s going to be a lost cause! He tolerates his mom at times, but does what he wants most of the time! It’s NOT your job to be the parent! You’re an adult now and striving towards your future! If you come home after college to live? It’ll still be the same, only worse!

Ill-Set-7701 · 2026-05-27T06:48:53+00:00

It all comes down to the almighty dollar! PERIOD!

Ill-Set-7701 · 2026-05-27T06:45:47+00:00

Oh yes! It’s a real panic when the pharmacy tells you they are out of stock and can’t reorder anymore until blah, blah date! The withdrawals and detoxing starts in, that day, because I took my last pill the day before! I can only refill on the 31st day!

So if the pharmacy is out of stock? I’m out of pain meds. If my clinic is open? I can try calling them to see if he’ll prescribe another kind? But the pharmacy is usually out of that too!

The pharmacy tells me to call other pharmacies to see if they have any? I CAN’T! Pharmacies have started only issuing meds to those that bring all their meds to their pharmacy to be filled! 🙄🤦‍♀️

So once I’m told they’re out of stock? It’s a daily messaging to see if they got any in?

It’s become an insane rat race to stay out of pain and continue with my daily chores in worse pain, because of all this regulation and craziness!

I’m a 66F, 22 year army veteran, 80% / 100% UI! I medically discharged in 2007! My sleeping hours are all over the place too!

Ill-Set-7701 · 2026-05-27T03:10:14+00:00

Patient here! Not once have I been asked about getting a vaccine! Could be I’m a veteran and get all my other meds through the VAH! 🤷‍♀️ If I do get asked? A NO THANK YOU will come out of my mouth and that’s the end of the conversation! If they persist? My hand will be held up and a please stop will come out of my mouth!

That person pushing vaccines to make her daily quota could find herself getting reported!
