My mother was SAHM, never worked, nevertheless has a good pension and can travel everywhere she wants, while we will never be able to afford travelling after retirement, and we will probably work untli the age of 70. But I dont's speak with my mother about money.


We earn less than 200k but I don’t see why we won’t be able to travel after retirement. We travel now.

Surely she buys things, pays for utiliies, pays for insurance, pays to drive a car or ride transit, books travel, eats in restaurants etc. She knows what stuff costs. She might be giving you that look because when you complain about money it sounds stupid given your stated income.


Incomes are higher bc the cost of living is higher. $250k to $300k is not that much around here to support a family. I’m sure it is in a rural or suburban area of the country

Are you that high up in your delusions?
