[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 739613, member: 23349"] I knew you would understand, Leafy! I hate that feeling in the pit of my stomach when they call. Because they only call when they want something. I keep hoping someday they will get it, like N finally did. But I don’t let myself hope too hard anymore. They do think money grows on trees, apparently. They look at my very modest house and little bit of land and think I’m rich. If my bank account isn’t completely empty, I must be able to afford to help. No concept of planning for the future, maintaining an emergency fund, saving for retirement. Only today exists for them, and the latest crisis it brings. It baffles me, too. I don’t understand why anyone would let themselves live the way they live. From my perspective, it looks way more stressful than holding a job, paying bills, and performing basic acts of adulthood. What is it they have against stability? [/QUOTE]
