obviously some things do happen in good time, but even with a career, that doesn’t guarantee a person can start saving. especially not immediately. i agree, saving for an emergency fund would be ideal… with my life: yesterday was an emergency, today was an emergency, tomorrow will probably be too.
don’t shame the person, shame the system because it’s absolutely ridiculous that people can never get ahead.
Go ahead and put your contribution sites here too. I can't always contribute, but when I can, I certainly will. Hope you are well, and we'll see how we can help, eh?
@chessert hey, Chris 😊 you have always been the kindest person towards me! I can’t say enough how much I appreciate your support. I’ll leave links, but honestly, just having these open discussions, esp in these dark times, is so appreciated. I know of so many people in the mental health profession going through these same struggles right now. it breaks my heart

My daughters all seem to be doing well.
So I've kinda adopted you as another. I'm older, and have some financial security. If I can't help improve other people's lives... why am I here, and what was this all for? 🤷♂️
Bottom line: you don't owe me — I owe you. Pay it forward!
@chessert
firstly — 🥺
i have no words (i do), that may be the sweetest thing I’ve heard in a long time. your daughters are so lucky to have you.
thank you for your perspective. that is such an interesting way of looking at it. i love hearing more detailed explanations on why people feel as they do about things.. so thank you for sharing it with me 😊
