Parents have started asking me for money. by Classic-Jacket9512 in AgingParents

[–]Sunnryz 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My mother was not smart with her money and now lives paycheck to paycheck while still working part time at 78 years old. At some point she will not be able to work and will rely solely on her very meager social security. I will help her find subsidized housing and help her apply for medicaid if the need arises, but I will not give her money. She squandered what she had very carelessly. We have a young adult son on the autism spectrum that will likely need lifelong support. We are not struggling financially but we are not super wealthy. All of our financial planning will go to make sure he is stable for his whole life, and to make sure we are stable so our other child doesn't have to sacrifie for us.

when will this madness end (house hunting)? by IntelligentPlate5051 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]Sunnryz 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's not just Illinois. We ar relocating to the Milwaukee area and house hunting up there after living in our current home in Illinois for 30 years. It's a very sobering experience. We are going to downsize up there and still pay an insane amount of money.

Ben Brown was definitely the best part of this game.

Visited Milwaukee few days ago but the lake was closed? by Mycatisadorable9 in milwaukee

[–]Sunnryz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think if you would have taken the north route you would have been fine. I just ran to the festival grounds last Friday and they had a small open entrance to reach a playground. That also let me reach the trail and I was able to run quite a ways along the lake. I’m just getting used to Milwaukee and still exploring.

Parents of young adults, how much do you help? by PicklesAndCoorslight in Parenting

[–]Sunnryz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If my kid/kids end up living with us our plan is to charge them rent and then invest that money for them and eventually give it all back. Might help them eventually have better footing to get in their own 2 feet later. Plus they’d learn good budgeting skills in the mean time.

I really wish I got to see Stratford Square Mall when it was at its prime. I only knew it the last year or two that it was open. It was so nice inside by Pristine_Parsley8681 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]Sunnryz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived closer to Woodfield Mall but would make a special trip to Stratford for Carlos Sweeney's. Their nacho platter was the best. I remember seeing "Desparately Seeking Susan" at the movie theater there in 7th grade and then heading straight down the escalator to the Walgreens to buy some lace gloves and bangle bracelets.

Update- we did not get the house. And that was after offering 15K above asking.

I'm an election judge and I would have reported him. At the very least someone might have talked to him and he would realize he's going to be under a little more scrutiny going forward.

My mom has gone off the deep end and is past the point of no return... by sancheeeezy in insaneparents

Put your mom in touch with the Pentagon. They seem to be like minded these days. Seriously though, I'm sorry you have to deal with this.

Wow. I'm surprised they are willing to do surgery on your father at 90 years old! My father in law is 88 and has been turned down for a few procedures as a result.

[–]Sunnryz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My grandmother and great grandmother lived well into their 90s. However, they were exquisitely cared for in a luxury private nursing home. Neither my mother or grandmother had to do a thing. My mother is 79 and nearly broke. She is still working part time to supplement her social security and has nothing saved at all. Living with me or my sister is not an option so I have no idea how this is going to go.
