My parents are struggling to retire—and my fiancé believes they only have themselves to blame

My fiancé has said to me that it's a shame my parents "lived beyond their means" His parents are upper middle class, but life is expensive.

Your fiancé seems to be lacking compassion for those less fortunate, perhaps shaped by his life of privilege.

If you can find a way to align your values with your fiancé, you may want to rethink your engagement.

She wants to sell her house and buy a mobile home in mobile home park, while pocketing $150,000 to $200,000 .

I'm worried that she doesn’t understand the value of equity, if she keeps her current home, to help support her long term.

If she’s choosing between staying in the house with her $ 800 per month payment or buying a mobile, then she should stay in her house.
