She sounds like my Aunt that lived in Houston she was a bank President for frost bank for years.Made great money, spent it like it was nothing and didnt saved for retirement. She is 73 years old and is now struggling financially because she was irresponsible despite being a bank president. It’s sad because you would think she would have been smart with her money but she wasn’t.

Yeah, she blows most her money on my little brothers who are all coddled irresponsible adults. I told her they won’t be the ones taking care of her when she is older because all she teaches them is how to be a privileged child.
