Pics of mom to fully assess situation

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.
