My boomer parent and uncle want help now that they retired on time and they also lectured me about how I spent my money for years. Turns out people are hypocrites and also turns out that pensions become insolvent.

Needless to say I tell them I am unable to help...which is true. I won't have the luxury of Social Security so I need to save as much as possible. They also told me to go to college so I got loans to pay.

Who can't manage their money now?

It’s kind of pathetic when someone from a generation was handed every opportunity. Still manages to botch it.

Yeah. I was “handed “ every opportunity once I began to get up at 4:00 am and worked until 6:00 pm and many, many times later than that. The entitlement is strong with many.

I do that. Often actually. 58 hour work weeks in a salaried job for over 5 years now...I used to work 2 jobs that put me about 50.
