My dad may be a boomer by definition of the year he was born, but in some ways he is the polar opposite of how boomers act.
Example: he straight up asked if he could give me some money if I was wanting to make any big purchases like a new car. "I'm not going to spend all my money before I die!"
Indeed he will not, as he still has some old furniture in need of replacing that he can easily afford to replace.
I did end up agreeing to his proposal, but with a lesser quantity than he offered.
@houseoftolstoy financial responsibility is more important than having money
I don't "need" the money, but having more on hand will help. My finances are all under control and I am by no means living paycheck to paycheck. But more money than you have now can certainly help.
