“My mum is financially ruining me”
Many of us have asked our parents to lend us money, but what about when they ask you? What if they took advantage of your generosity? This week, our anonymous interviewee reveals the financial and emotional cost of their mother coercing them to pay for their lifestyle. So how do you balance supporting the older generation with your own financial wellbeing. And, if you need to, how do you draw the line? The Money Medics discuss their own experience of navigating these situations. You can’t choose your family, but you can choose what to do with your money.
