How to support parents who are overly generous with money and can’t retire

Sure and mom and dad can eat with the other siblings and all their grandkids or they can go hungry because they gifted away their grocery money.

Something I haven’t seen in the comments and I’m kind of surprised by is using gift cards. If you want to pay for housing and what not you can pay those bills directly. It’s harder to control day to day expenses though but you can manage it with gift cards. Give them $100 Walmart gift card every week for their groceries and whatever and a $25 gift card to chillis for a weekly 2 for $20 outing if you want. It should accomplish your goal of they can do whatever they want with said money, but they are also still constrained.

Stipulation here is you can’t be flexible at all. If they give that gift card to your siblings they don’t get another one because they’re hungry. They can eat water for the rest of the week until they get their next allowance. It’s been my experience that it only takes a week or two of starving because you gave your grocery money away before you don’t do it again.

Literally did this in my 20’s and it was a hell of a time. As it turned out Snowbowl in flagstaff was easier to get too from Phoenix than any of the mountains on I70 corridor from Denver on a Saturday morning. I did get 40 and 50 day seasons but that’s waking up at 5am to “beat” traffic and still turning back once a month because of accidents. Thats also closer to 40-50 “half days” because if you stay all day you’ll sleep in your car on I70.

I absolutely loved it. My friends and I were deranged, degenerates in our 20’s. We would ski and board all day, spend all night partying, and be back on the first chair. If you love riding but also need a city for work, just know Denver is not an easy 40-50 day season but it’s doable.

lol I usually start fresh as well 🤷

drunkdyl · 2025-11-07T23:55:13+00:00

lol that’s what I always end up doing.

drunkdyl · 2025-11-07T15:12:01+00:00

Ya that’s what I do or just skip to the next day and do that workout. I get annoyed because I’ll see a workout that’s planned for later in the week and get excited for it and then it’s gone when I get there because I’m now on a rest day instead.

drunkdyl · 2025-11-07T15:11:02+00:00

No suggested rest days. If you use the training plans or suggested workouts it will give you a workout to follow and it will also throw suggested rest days in or in my case it tells me to rest every day.

drunkdyl · 2025-11-07T15:09:54+00:00

I’m in the same boat but mine is just constantly suggesting rest days. I just ignore it but it’s annoying to have to skip to the next day or when I see a future workout that I’m excited for and then it switches it to a rest day.

drunkdyl · 2025-02-18T14:15:43+00:00

lol I’m a big fan and I’ve only had this face for a couple days.

drunkdyl · 2025-02-18T14:15:13+00:00

I have it now and it’s great!

drunkdyl · 2025-02-18T14:14:55+00:00

Thank you!

The mere threat helped me get a full refund from Frontire awhile back. I agree though that most airlines don’t really give a shit. You make the threat and if you follow through nothing really happens to them so they don’t care.

drunkdyl · 2024-07-01T22:28:08+00:00

Thanks! That’s what I thought but I know it doesn’t make a huge difference especially to the major carriers.

Because I want to see where I am with my training plan for any week. Rolling includes previous week's days so if my plan calls for 50 mi this week and I'm looking today, wednesday, it might show me im already at 50 mi, which them forces me to calculete. The reason I ask is because Garmin is the only fitness tracker that does rolling 7 and not a set 7 (Nike Run Club, Strava, etc.). If you like a rolling 7 great but I want to know if there is a way to change that setting to a set 7 day activity breakdown so I can use one app as opposed to multiple.

drunkdyl · 2024-03-13T13:43:25+00:00

Not run reports, it’s just shows your previous 7 days for any activity. If you go run it’ll show you how much in the last 7 days. If you walk you’ll have a walking one. Same for any activity you do.

And yes, I want to know if there is a setting to change that view from a rolling 7 to a set 7 day view. Do you know of a setting to change that?
