My parent helps out and pays mortgage and with kids expenses
Mother pays vacations once a year which are extravagant and once not extravagant. I probably pay one vacation of 5K a year.
Projection says I get to like 3 mill and am short 4 Mill at 62. I am mid 40's.
Help. Is it just eating out and Cars? I am embarrassed that my parent pays mortgage and I am still negative every month. Take home 11K in two checks after putting 1 K plus in retirement. Probably negative 2-3K every month (hence credit cards). Spend probably $500 a week min eating out.
Only $5k/year for vacation?
