Well my H loves the dogs far more than anyone else in the house.  He even told me once he will be more sad when he dies than I.  I have always thought that when my mom passes she will pull some odd thing like giving it all to my children or allowing me $10000 a year or something like that or stipulate that I tithe a certain amount-or, like Joan Crawford-leave me nothing.  I guess I could write a scathing book exposing her.  Although most people already have her figured out.  Not fooling anyone.

Can you frame in words what it is you want for yourself... apart from your mom and all that's connected to her and the business....

what is it that Kelly wants?

It is.  I know he loves me but the dog does not give him crap!  Wealth is not what I want.  I just want enough that I can never have to ask for help.  An extra $1000 Per month would be ok.  i also do not want to have so beat to my moms drum.  When she stole the business from me I felt totally ripped off-although I come and go as I please and it was not always that way.

Kelly,

It's always been important to me to have that sense of security, too... to have enough, to not be dependent on help from others, financially. Then again, I know how easy it is to lose everything in a disaster... so it's equally important to me to not be too attached to that stuff.

$1,000.00 more per month... what would you do with that money?

I want to be able to go over to my parents' house and even if it is phoney Just be able to sit and have a conversation.  These 14 years with her I have had to not only try to protect myself from her but others as well.  She uses demeaning language to describe our employees to others and she says it so the employee can hear it.  She refers to the bookkeeper who we made assistant manager in 05 The abounts payable clerk.

Well said, C.H.!!  As adults we are supposed to think like adults.....

Being attached to the "idea" of security is a disaster in itself! 

All the best

Good Morning, Kelly,

Do you have a saving plan in place for any extra income you are able to make?
If I'm getting too nosy, please ignore... just trying to encourage you to think ahead, which is something I've battled against for ages.

Long range goals, you know... a way of viewing life which draws us outside of the immediate webs of conflict.
Your mother will not be around forever, you know...
What can you begin doing right now, today, that would change the future where saving is concerned?

Again, just some potential thoughts for a different perspective. Please ignore if annoying... lol.
