@mk30@tilde.zone Mom fell for every single pyramid scheme in the 80s. Married a few rich men, those all ended badly. She always works two or three jobs so she can afford to shop, and it's not enough for her. She used to be a "financial advisor", but yeah. Pretty sure her shopping addiction puts her in the "bad with money" category regardless. She's always complaining about her storage fees. Well.... own fewer things?

@tippitiwichet@mastodon.social oh man, sounds a lot like my mom. She has lost $ in many pyramid schemes, sends hundreds of dollars to "gurus", and is constantly in a cycle of buying and returning clothes and buying more stuff on store credit. Her ability to pick dishonest people to work with is remarkable. Sometimes I get the sense that she keeps hoping there's some kind of shortcut to having a lot of $. I'm just happy she has a real profession now (she does real estate).
