      I wanted to quit my job, but was looking for another one before I did that. My friend kept telling me to quit because "the universe would catch me." I was so confused by what she was talking about and ignored her.
      A few months later, she asked me if my parents had ever threatened to cut me off. I was confused, "cut me off from what?" That's when I learned her parents paid her rent every month.
      We are 38 years old. I have covered all of my own expenses since I moved out at 19.
      "The universe" was her upper middle class parents.

      Yeah if anything the reverse of that is way closer to "financial independence".
      At that point it would be "I'm surviving on my own but they buy me nice things."
      Neither is financially independent but in one of those situations you can at least survive if they stop paying for things. In the other your existence is dependent on them and you're just making fun money. Basically the way most middle class high schoolers exist (having rent and food covered but having a part time job to pay for movies and dates and fast food).

      The only reason I don't have stable job is my lack of axperience (so quite empty cv) and quite high social anxiety, but I have few seasonal jobs that doesn't spike the SA and I earn throu the whole year enough money to go by without debts (the only minus is not having retirenment funds, but in my country it's not guaranteed even if you work most of your life while paying the retirenment taxes).

    Financial good news since watching the show early last year:
    - hubby & I have a 6 month emergency fund
    - increased 401k contributions
    - began adding additional payments on the home
    - have no major debts except the home & an interest free car payment
    - haven’t spent money on DoorDash, UberEats, etc. Since January this year. Last year we went from ordering 2-3/week to *once* every 4-6ish weeks, usually picking it up ourselves to save on delivery fees.
    - stopped going to coffee shops. We’ve been making lattes & iced coffees at home and have only gone out maybe 3 times in the last 6 months 😅 lol

Everything went on the card. Learned my lesson. Lease car ended, and I didn't get a new car since I work from home (sucked the big one), cut my cable, cut netflix and Spotify, only home cooked meals (this was the worst 😅), rented out a room in my house for extra income. Im officially debt free as of this month. Before I get a car, I'm going to build my emergency fund and pad my checking account. This sucked and was sooo hard, but I feel so much better and, most importantly, I'm FREEE!!!! My credit is back up to 820. Thank you!!!!

We told her or goal is to teach her about being self reliant and independent so that she doesn't get trapped in bad relationships she can't leave due to financial dependencies like her mother did. We told her, though, that if she gets married, she has decided she is an adult and will need to rely on herself and her husband.

    In my opinion, this is another adult who is just being enabled by her parents and even society. Enough of the victim mentality, at what point do we keep treating adults as little kids and not start holding them accountable for their place in society, and their actions. To be a fully functional and responsible adult without relying on parents entirely. This air of infancy and babying we have created is not helping the younger generations grow up. The worst thing you can do is give everything to your kids and them never experiencing the consequences of their actions, it hinders them and sabotages their maturity.

      I have nothing against parents giving "everything" to their kids. For many people that is their financial goal, to be able to pay for their kids' college, help them with their first house, etc... The issue is that the "kid" receiving all those things should be a functional adult who understands the value of what they are getting.
      We have a huge issue in society with adults who think that they should have been taught in schools how to "adult". There is a dominant mindset that promotes the idea that you can simply block key stages of life because kids need more time to think, or adults need more time to learn "adulting". This is, of course, extremely stupid. Time does not stop just because we wished it did.
      The years are going by, and we have lost a generation that is now in their 30s who is still complaining about "adulting" and not having enough for a downpayment on their dream house, all while sipping on a frappuccino and waiting for their Temu order to arrive.

    Something positive that has happened to me financially this year: I finally started working with a financial advisor for my retirement funds. I had a stale 401K from an old job that was doing nothing, and now I have that money in the compound growth machine, working for me.

A studio in my area is around 2000 a month. I do not have 2000 a month. If I was born a few years later, I would literally be homeless. I would need 1-3 room-mates to rent a studio, but I would rather live in a van.

      @ more so I'm a work-a-holic and I enjoy working. Actually getting a part time job and stuff once the building is done being built. But now I'll be working because I want to earn extra cash to spend on whatever I want instead of earning extra cash to pay off debt. I'll still work til I die, but now it won't be slaving away because I have to.
