Honestly both my mom's parents just kind of suck and made things a lot worse, while not realizing how much they specifically are the problem
Like oh, you're daughter's a fuck up who can't manage money? Wonder who she picked that up from
#it's not that they were any good with money... my god... the amount of shit they wasted and continue to waste huge amounts of money on#it's just that they had a better economy than we do now... not even kidding; that's the only reason they had money#like my grandpa once spent thousands of dollars on a lawyer to try and get my dad's name off my mom's trailer#(my dad didn't even want to have his name on it to begin with; it's just my grandpa wouldn't cosign so my dad did...)#(so like... talk about stupid... you made the 'problem' then complained about the consequences of the actions you just took)#anyway... spends thousands of dollars; you know what he gets for that?#literally nothing#dad's name was on the trailer till the day we got rid of it; and unlike what was predicted he just... signed like he was asked to#which everyone but my grandparents knew would happen cause my dad literally said so#so yeah... can you start to see what I mean about my mom's parents being bad with money?#that it's only having enough of it and being insulated by a good economy when they were buying their house and stuff#that made them upper middle class#but they passed on their horrible skills with money to my mom; and so she was trying to live like a rich fuck while making minimum wage#which is why I often didn't really get to eat more than once or twice a day#like can you imagine spending thousands of dollars on literally nothing?#imagine what you could do with like... forget if it was more like $2000 or $5000; but just think if you had $2000 right now#and then think of my grandpa paying a lawyer to fix a non issue and then not even getting literally any result#...and actually this was like 2002; so that money was probably worth more then too#like do you get just how bad he was with money when you compare it to what you could make happen with that?#so they basically pissed all his money away; and while what my grandma's living on I'd consider a king's ransom#...well... like I've said; she spends it all on shit from marshalls and so... I don't know...#always kind of messed with me cause I... I don't know how much I count as poor#like I had to pay rent for my mom with my savings when I was like 8#and there often wasn't really food in the house and we were always living in broken down as places and behind on all bills always#but like... my grandparents were solidly upper middle class; and my dad's parents were middle class#...I don't know... really don't#and like... I don't hate my grandpa; I do kinda with my grandma; but with my grandpa it's like he was a well meaning buffoon#but like as an adult at this point; looking at the shit he did and the way he lived his life#kind of want to go beat his ass and be like 'you've got like 50 different things this is for'#from how you manage money to how you treat your grandkid; you're such a fuck up but you think you're the only one who's right
