I think many of us have a tendency to panic and number crunch to the point where just lose sight of what we actually want to achieve!<br /><br />The fact yuo want to improve how you manage money too, as well as just hitting numbers, is a great example for anyone else trying to balance their budget!MoneySolvehttp://www.moneysolve.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-2402012622230014812010-05-05T12:38:16.254-04:002010-05-05T12:38:16.254-04:00Always a joy to read your articles, and always lea...Always a joy to read your articles, and always learn something new! thumbs up!Ellicehttp://erl-mortgage.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-22427284371182673882010-04-28T18:15:27.306-04:002010-04-28T18:15:27.306-04:00Good post, I can relate!

It is a money pit of a monster in a very bad location, and they've already poured too much into it. But it is their money. I try to not think about the chore (as the oldest daughter and their executor) that I know awaits me inevitably. They don't want my input and don't listen to me, anyway. It is hard to not worry about their futures. Especially now that my mother has been diagnosed with Lymphoma. <br />This is certainly a wide-spread and too common issue. I feel your frustration as well as my own.MtnMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08486102684101822999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-79289353068116406002010-04-26T13:05:28.034-04:002010-04-26T13:05:28.034-04:00I feel for you.

I cringe when friends and family seem more wasteful than usual - like not getting work quotes from multiple people - but I take deep breaths and repeat "not my problem" so much that my husband probably thinks I've gone insane. <br /><br />Glad you are personally doing well and I hope you have much less stress this year.

People don't change so don't stress too much about it unless of course you think she will turn to you for help when she runs out of money.

We are also seeing solid gains and the first half of the year is always a crowd pleaser for us too (with bonuses, raises, tax returns etc).<br /><br />I did want to mention that the single biggest regret I have in my life is that I tried to get my dad to make some decisions that seemed so obvious to me. Since the day he died three years ago, I've regretted ever trying to get him to see things my way. In the end it didn't matter too much. Now that my mom is a widow and retired, I've taken a completely different approach. I gently offer advice and show her how she can use the money she has to improve her monthly standard of living, but when she spends $800 to have a few trees trimmed, I nod my head and tell her it sounds okay. I would be much more conservative with my money than she is, but in the end, all I really care about is that she's happy for the rest of her life. While I certainly don't want her to fall back on me for support if she runs low on money, I've decided the relationship is more important than her financial decisions.Hazzardhttp://www.everybodylovesyourmoney.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-81679191560644839762010-04-15T15:24:03.265-04:002010-04-15T15:24:03.265-04:00I don't have Mint, so I couldn't contribut...I don't have Mint, so I couldn't contribute to that conversation, but I just wanted to say 'thanks for posting.' I'm glad your net worth is going in the positive direction. I just added up some of my stock stuff, and it's fun when times are good. :)<br /><br />Take care.<br />-tashaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
