Hi @Bill16  I paid off my mortgage and had good amount of lump sum in the bank prior to purchasing my new home.  By retiring I walked away from toxic environment and my health has improved. Amazing the benefit of reduced stress has had on my physical health, healthier now than have been for decades

[Bill16]

I'm glad you have paid off your house @Patches59 and got away from toxic environment 

[Bill16]

One of my super funds was insured against me not being able to work @Patches59 some lawyers rang me up and said you are entitled to this amount,I couldn't believe it and the lawyers only charged me 10k

Where would you be without your Mum?

I am glad you feel better.

Hopefully nothing wrong with the old toothy pegs?

I love a flouro, a hyper colour or a neon now. Pink especially.

Probably my kid too. Although maybe not so much, I think I raised a sociopath. 
my kid is a success monster, collecting accolades and achievements like Pokemon. 
I tried to remove the roadblocks to success with my kiddo and I wanted to prevent any and all traumatic experiences, self doubt and misguided loyalty and or silence. I’m very proud but I created a monster. I projected the worst of my bitterness, I think and the bad feelings I tried to inoculate and shield from are manifest in different ways, a new unhappiness and my child can be callous and exploitative.

Hey @ChouxieChou , 

Some really strong thoughts there. I'm interested to hear more if you are up to it. 

Hope you are okay.

Hi Tyme, 

I’d be happy to discuss at anytime if you’re interested. 
It’s something I have mixed feelings about. My life and my circumstance, I’m going to die in a cardboard box on the side of the road. Some of these issues, mental health and personality predilections, I wasn’t a novice in psychological theory when I found myself unexpectedly with child. I was beyond a novice in practice. I did my best to achieve a goal, to raise a successful adult. I assume the new fangled terminology. I am a tiger mom, a momager, but it took a darker turn or the results were not what I wanted..or they are what I wanted. My child is not well adjusted emotionally. Money and accolades flow like manna from heaven but wellbeing and contentment is elusive.
