Do you ever worry your parents are making bad money decisions… or heading toward retirement totally unprepared? This week’s Friday Drinks starts with the situation where you love your parents, they’re adults, and you’re still lying awake wondering whether someone is taking them for a ride. We talk about how to raise money concerns without lecturing or burying your head in the sand. And how to live with the reality that sometimes, even when you say everything right, the decision still isn’t yours. Then there ain't no drama like a wedding money drama, and this one is no ecception. A bridal party agreed to pay for $1k for hens and bucks accommodation, and now the story is we can’t afford to pay you back. We get into where responsibility sits, how resentment builds when you absorb costs you didn’t agree to carry, and when being “understanding” just means being out of pocket. Plus we've got money wins, broke tips, and community chaos to finish the week properly.
