I am posting 2025 goals so you guys can help hold me accountable this year: Fitness: - Daily average 10k steps: I only averaged 6k steps per day in 2024 so this is a significant increase for me. To allow for some flexibility, I can make up for it if I do 15k one day and 5k

My daughter who is 14 recently turned off her location sharing with us. She said it’s about privacy and she isn’t doing anything wrong. My husband said he will not pay her phone bills unless she turns it back on. I’m caught in the middle and could see it from both sides. Whose

My teenage son doesn't want a p/t job. I believe getting a job is part of adulting so he can understand responsibilities & finances. How do you empower your kids to get a job? My son would rather sit at home play video games for free than go out. Is this Gen Z issue or just him?

I am not sure crypto is the main culprit but our society doesn’t value hard work like it used to. We are always about the smart way out by looking for short cuts whether it’s a viral video or cryptocurrency. Everyone wants to be the someone that didn’t do anything and wins big

I have a friend who has a nice house, nice cars, and many designer items. She goes on vacations 3-4 times a yr. I just realized through retirement discussions that she does not have any savings. How should I gently break it to her that she should start without sounding offensive?

I just wondered because we never had location trackers growing up so did our world that much more dangerous or did we get that much more protective as parents?

It’s sad that this is now a radical position.

My husband is normally a very frugal person but he came to the realization that he has likely passed the midpoint of his life and is now counting down rather than counting up. We decided to splurge on memorable life experiences rather than just focus on saving money (e.g our

I don't want to be retirement-rich and current-poor. Saving for retirement is wonderful, but what happens between now and then? So many people don't think about that time.

My husband originally wanted to buy a new tv on Black Friday because our tv is around 10 years old and has slowed down considerably at times. We watched the Netflix show Buy Now, The Shopping Conspiracy last week and he changed his mind. It isn't even about saving money, but

I’m an introvert and I dislike big parties and large group gatherings because we usually just talk about superficial things. I don’t dislike human connections but I prefer spending my time on deeply connecting with a few important people who feel the same way. Is that weird?

Is it just me or do the younger generation lacks resilience and grit? My teenagers don't want to try anything that is too difficult or takes too long. Do you think screen time is to blame? The instant gratification from video game cannot be replicated in real life situations.
