You know what is frustrating? Trying to help someone that SAYS that they want and need help but through their actions say otherwise.
I have a friend that asked me a few weeks ago to help her get a handle on her finances. She makes over $40,000 a year, lives with family (which means she doesn’t […]
I have what you might call an interesting relationship with my parents. To say that it is love-hate is a bit of an understatement.
