Ugh- her fakey talk to Summer about pretending to care about baseball- setting up the girls vs boys thing. Can you imagine the disappointment if Summer turns out to like sports or not be beauty pageant material?
And also a weird vibe when Caden was hugging her - like she’s fake smiling, looking straight ahead instead of looking at him. Idk. Such weird vibes from her.
I’m sympathetic that the baby came unexpectedly (though… that’s kind of what babies do?) But I’d bet that she’s more upset about the loss of content- Cadens hug, the last night as a family of 3, etc. She prob didn’t get her hair or nails done.
I’m sure she had it all planned out. If she was that traumatized she wouldn’t be filming herself crying etc. And here go the comparisons- with Caden I was in the OR already, with Caden I didn’t get to see him right away. Poor Caden.
Hi. My mom is 72/divorced. Not super financially savvy. She is currently working part time but her employer is closing so will have to find a new role or retire. Her father just passed and she will likely inherit around $200k. She has a townhouse with a mortgage of around $100k. She refi’ed into a 2.75% in 2022/3 the rate will adjust at 15 years (so 12ish years from now). Her payment/interest/taxes are under $900/mo. She owes a bit on her car ($5-6k) and has some cc debt. She receives social security (elected at 67). Small 401k (maybe $140k). Good health and mental status. She plans to remain in townhome- it’s well at up with everything she needs on main level. Shes a nurse at a retirement home and absolutely never wants to live in one. Obviously if there was dementia etc we would have to possibly reconsider. Townhouse is worth $275-300k.
I’m thinking paying off the car and home would give her breathing room if she isn’t working - this would eliminate her biggest bills, her taxes/insurance would be around $300/mo. Thoughts? Would it be better to put in a HYSA and continue paying the mortgage?
Any ideas recommended.
