Shutting down the Bank of Momma
Do you have a relative who is constantly in one money mess or another, and asking you to bail them out?
Momma from Tales of the Road Less Traveled did a guest post this week at Gather Little By Little called Enabling the Perpetually Poor.
A snippet:
For more than two years, Jimmy or his wife would call me and lament that a utility was getting ready to be turned off or they needed groceries for the week. Although I brought up the suggestion that Jimmy’s wife get a job, there were so many excuses. “Daycare costs more than I would make.” “If I put him in daycare, he’ll just be sick all the time and I’ll have to leave work to take care of him anyway.” “I’m not skilled and can’t do anything.” I wrote the checks anyway.
One day, the Bank of Momma shut down. How did she do it? Read the whole story.
