I’ve seen clip of that financial advice show “The Ramsey show” on YouTube and the things that old man say are shocking to me. According to him I shouldn’t give a single cent to my parents… That’s so against my culture. I would be seen as downright evil if I do that.
Hell I’m unemployed for like a year by now and still sent 200 euro a few months ago to my father that still lives in my home country that I haven’t seen in 17 years.
Are you really Americans like that? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t see it as cold hearted but I see it as unnatural, and I’M a “socialess” cold person in essence.
Don’t know how in other countries, but in Poland the state retirement income is too low for living.
Doesn’t Poland also have a weird law allows parents to force their children to pay a form of “alimony”?
Same in Italy, my mom doesn’t want to live here and get older here, her money is invested in our country and wants to retire there, even though Italy is a much safer and stable country (I mean is not, but it’s almost good in comparison to Latin America)
