Great, another lecture on how to manage money I barely have. My parents don't even have savings accounts.

mate, my situation too. Start small, it helps.

Peyton Hall2026-06-15T18:10:00.000Z

Honestly, this is so needed. My mates are dealing with this now and it's a mess. Share the checklist!

River Cole2026-06-15T18:59:00.000Z

sounds like a healthy situation, good for you. /s

tbh I can barely manage my own money, let alone my parents'. But I guess I should start the convo soon.

lol cope, maybe if they didn't vote for austerity we'd have a safety net.

Mood. My dad still thinks term deposits are the peak of investing.

my mum still keeps her cash in envelopes under the bed. good luck trying to 'piece together' that financial picture lol

the bed? At that rate the mice are gonna get it first.

Biggest mistake is not having the chat early. Saw a family torn apart over mum's property. Do it now.

Sky Murphy2026-06-15T19:32:00.000Z

Yeah nah this is just more guilt-tripping for millennials. We're already stretched thin.

Reese Morgan2026-06-15T19:45:00.000Z

Used this approach with my dad. Took a while but it's been a weight off both our shoulders. Good read.

Reese Morgan2026-06-15T20:01:00.000Z

you. Not everyone gets an inheritance.

River Cole2026-06-15T20:02:00.000Z

What a load of shit. Like the system isn't rigged against us already.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-15T20:38:00.000Z

much anger here. It's just practical advice. Chill out.
