Kicking it off with the full bonus episode this month! Justin, Lauren, and I had some doozies of stories that had us going through it. This episode gives deep dive energy and we really tried to see so many angles to these problems.
I wonder if Gen Z gets "scammed" through purchases rather than the traditional ones we see with Boomers/Silent Gen. I know a lot of people who purchase really discounted things online and either get their info stolen or the items never come.

I agree with you, and couldn’t disagree more with Justin and Lauren on that story.

Investing ≠ gambling.
Get rich quick schemes = gambling.

For the last story I know cheating is cheating but they were in HIGH SCHOOL they were children! Punishing someone for something they did as a child is crazy!

On the first one; it sounds like she left to eat in her room BECAUSE mom was complaining about doing it all herself, so personally I think his reaction was justified. It also sounds like mom likes to just invite and insert herself, which is why they were so frustrated.

6k on a car I bet it was bought “as is” meaning it doesn’t work or it needs a lot of work to be safe to drive. You can easily buy an old classic car that doesn’t actually drive for 6 k and then you have to put thousands of more dollars into it. My ex was really into buying junk cars and fixing them up and once it was fixed and running properly he would trade it for another junk car. He spent SO much money fixing these cars

She keeps bringing up him paying for his hobbies. Does she not get to invest in her hobbies or the things she’s into??? He feels a little controlling with money outside of this bonus.

The take on the first story is wild. Justin has a point, that you all stress boundaries but it seemed like he couldn’t have any with his mom without accommodating her in some way.

Mom story—I do not think he was the asshole. For as many stories as we have seen, it’s evident that 9/10 times, when a child is anywhere close to closed off or firm with parents, it’s because of the parent. He was the asshole in that he invited his dad to fish, but he probably was doing so to get out of his wife’s hair for her recharge. Mom should have asked.
“My money” story—yes he is ABSOLUTELY the asshole. It sounds like he has 2 of his own cars, spends his own money for his own hobbies and likes as he wants. It is so common that SAHM are limited with their finances because of mindsets like what he said—it’s “my” money from the breadwinner, not “ours”. He’s a prick. She should be allowed to buy what she wants (within reason) and she should be able to enjoy it just as much as he does. It’s financial abuse!!

Thank you for your ending comments, was really nice to hear a creator be neutral and say everyone is welcome and not villainize one side or the other.

I think the mom is the AH in the 1st story. Sounds like the son knows his mom pretty well..
