parents buying homes they cannot afford and doing it in the name of " a quality home for their kids"
In reality, the parents now have to work all the time to afford it which means less face time with their kids who need them

The best/Worse thing that ever happened to me, inspired me to help those who weren’t supported or financially literate.
No judgement just pointing out that some teens are metaphorically thrown to the wolves lol my kid will be coached & supported into their 30’s but not coddled.

Reading this thread brings me hope but reminds me of my own financial traumas.
1. Had to go
@18
totally unprepared
2. Mom, well intentioned to help build credit, got me some retail credit cards. Credit was jacked by 20
3. Step dad made me fear stocks said the game was rigged.

I’m happy to hear it inspires hope!! Financial trauma is an area not often discussed or even acknowledged but it’s so real and manifests in many different ways. I’m Rahkim and I discuss financial trauma and financial empowerment.

Allowing kids to continue to live at home after graduating from high school but demanding that they get a job and start paying bills (rent, utilities, groceries) to help out, even if they're only working part-time while attending college.
@RahkimSabree
I know someone that may have to do this - if their child is committed to not going to college, getting a job or doing anything to move towards adulthood. They have to make good on this threat or he will be playing video games until he’s 50.

Salary vs paid hourly.
Pay people for their time. People work 50-60 hours but only being paid for 40.
Expectation to go above & beyond what your actual job description is.
