Financially, we are well enough to have my family’s needs met comfortably but frugally. Can’t really ask for more, though additional breathing room would be nice. We can afford emergencies and recover after some time.

My parents and grandparents taught frugality; luck made ends meet like a good job and buying a house at the right time.

We have a bit of savings I have in mutual funds because I’m currently too mentally tired and risk-averse to pick something with higher return potential.

Physically…can’t compare to much of this thread, probably one of my surgeries.

Emotionally though, losing my dad. Worse than I could have ever imagined and still so painful.

Call your parents/loved ones, folks. It’s worth the time and effort; if not for them, then for your future self.

I agree but something with Mr Mobile has been off for me lately. Less enjoyable and it feels a bit like unintentional shilling or “hey this is cool if you force an interest.” Maybe it’s me and I’m just tired of the genre.
