Lucky for me my parents were both “I didn’t save anything for retirement, my kids will take care of me when I’m older”, so I don’t have to suffer through this.

    I thank you for debating with me over all of this. It’s nice to see things from a different angle. I hope you gleaned some insight as well. I’m not trying to spark anger, just trying to get people to see things from a different perspective. But I think it’s time we dropped the subject, the only thing this conversation is doing at this point, is making us go round and round in circles and letting our emotions take hold of us. Have a good day sir/ma’am and I hope your life continues in the way you want it.

    If you want to tell the internet that you win this argument, then I will concede it to you.

      Yeah you are definitely using emotionally charged language to talk about this.

      You should ask yourself why decisions around money reflect on your self image, ie “conceit” “deserve”.

        I apologize if I hurt your feelings or made you feel bad. That was not my intention. I still feel the way I do about the situation, but I’m glad to see things from a different point of view.
