Jun 28, 2022·1 replyAt a certain point you may have to try to disassociate yourself emotionally from the situation, if you feel that being involved with it is detrimental to your own progress and well-being. But like I said in the first post, gotta give it your all and try first. Should sit down with her and help her craft a budget based on her monthly income expenses. Definitely try to help sell a bunch of s*** off for capital if you can get over there anytime soon, before it all gets seized by UHaul.

This is exactly the type of dumb s*** my mom would do with a settlement and it's the precise reason why the inheritance she should've had is being routed to me. Damn, I really feel for OP
Jun 28, 2022The craziest part about all of this is you mentioning that this is not the first time that she specifically went broke buying a parrot...

I know a guy who may be able to help out

I know everybody wants to get their jokes off but I just want to pop in here to tell you that I feel your pain, man. I grew up with a single mom in Section 8 housing. Beyond not ever making much of an income herself and relying on the people around her / government assistance, she is just completely AWFUL with money management.
She'll spend thousands of dollars on the most random, useless s*** like vintage dolls and random ass cake mixers, often putting it on credit cards, all while begging for handouts from her 93 y/o dad and her close friend to pay her bills for her.
Anyway, I know how frustrating it is to witness that kind of money mismanagement. I would be hesitant to enable her complete and utter disregard for her financial stability by throwing money at the issue, because as you stated that it has happened before, well, it will happen again. And you'll continue paying the price for it while she gets off scott free. It's certainly a tough issue to balance with "well, f***, that's my mom and I want her to be okay" but enabling and bailing her out every time is not the move IMO.
I'd try to have a discussion with her about how to better budget and manage her money. Maybe gift her something like a year of Financial Peace University if she promises to make a budget and watch some of the courses with you. Sell the f***ing parrot. Talk to her about the impact her decisions has on you. To be honest with you people like that are very likely stuck in their ways, but it's good to at least try and not give up hope completely before you've put some effort into helping. Make sure you get everything you might need out of the house and the storage unit, too.
Thank you for this… I also tried having multiple discussions with her and other people have too. Her ex boyfriend tried to help but she just won’t listen.

It is a blue and gold macaw. She didn’t even tell me she was doing it or else I would have told her not to. She didn’t tell me until a week before she picked him up.
