I have some bad news. My mother is sick. Really sick. She has been battling rhuimitoid arthritis since she was a young girl and has had a sever bacterial infection for the past 9 months. She had an MRI today and the doctors didn’t like what they saw. I love my mom Zig Forums, I’m with her every step of the way unlike my father who escapes his problems with drugs and alcohol. I did well for myself. I went to college, got my degrees in Accounting and Finance. I have a job as an auditor and other side hustles that bring in decent money for myself. >Thank you based flannel man. I’ve been paying off my student loan debt and my goal is to be debt free by the end of this year. I’m torn because I want to do everything I can to make sure my mom stays comfortable for whatever comes next but I also have to worry about my own financial situation to start growing a family for myself like she always wanted. What do I do frens?
TLDR; Moms gonna die soon, should I spend money to make her comfortable or continue making myself a wealthy user?
Money is for the living user. If your mother has a death sentence, than what difference will it make if you spend a million dollars or whatever on her before-death care? She'll be dead.

I make 53,000 from my job and I can expect to get a 5,000 bonus once I get my CPA. I have 40k left in loans. 10k in the bank and about 7k in my investment portfolios. I’m paying 2k every month paying off my debt. If I keep working at my current job I’ll only need to pay off my debt to 10k until one of my fringe benefits can pay off the monthly payment I’m full.

Why are you paying that worthless debt? Everything is going to crash, stay in crypto/usdc and stop giving money to jews.

I realized that no matter how much money I can throw at my moms problems they are not going away. Trying to get out of debt also takes up a lot of my time. I’ve been liquidating everything I own to build up enough cash to get this shit off my books. But I could also use this money to buy my mom a stairlift so she can stay in her house. Remodel the bathroom so she can have a shower only feet away from her bed. When you see and hear someone screaming out in pain just from taking the steps to take a simple shit. Let alone your own mother kills me inside.

At historical interest rates like this. If you aren’t using debt as leverage you are missing out on the opportunity of a lifetime

I’m sorry user. We take it one day at a time over here. I hope you are being strong for her

Pleas help. I need cash flow. Just for half a year. I don’t want to invest in divvies cuz muh crash soon and bonds give shit for interest. I could take out about 300,000 in loans but after that I’m living off of ramen noodles
