[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 110782, member: 3626"] Mine's 20 and still doesn't get the concept of saving. She once managed to save $500 towards getting a car. The second I quit policing her and her money, she took it out and positively threw it away. To this day, she has no clue what she spent it on. Right now I am seriously worried because we have given each other a deadline of August 31st for her to move out. This was the agreement when we moved here -- 12 months and then you need to find your own way with just a little help from mom. So far, she has saved nada, zilch, nothing, zip. And I won't be contributing more than she does to her journey. I may match it, but that's it. I think for some, it just isn't in their realm of thinking. How we ever get it through to them, I have no idea. Mine is good about buying things on sale and the like, but she has to spend every penny -- not just the cash on her, but the credit limit on her credit card (which she no longer has, thank goodness) and whatever balance is available to her on her debit card. So very scary. [/QUOTE]
