I remember the moment the roles of my Mother and I flipped. It was a day that she had finally come to grips with her mental deterioration, and I assumed the role as her 'Parent', since I had the medical training and invoking her Enduring Power of Attorney legally puts me in the position of making decisions on her behalf. As for my Sons, I have already acknowledged them as independent adults though they still live with me. !LOL ❤️

Gold, keep saving some of that cash into gold @nainaztengra. I still accumulate some gold even as I am now on a fixed post employment income. My old frugal habits haven't changed much and I bought several nice outfits, all thrifted second hand spending far less than buying brand new. Enjoying the thrill of the shopping hunt.
