I have an issue... I literally need to cut the strings to my mother with regards to money, at least till I get financially ahead. I drop so much money on her for crap, and I am getting stressed out that I can't ever get ahead in life. It's in the thousands at this point, and she never gave me money in the past 5 years now, nor has she help me with anything. My New Years resolution is to save every dollar I make, because on this little 15 day break from the Army I drop like 700-800 on her, always asking if I am hungry, then I pay for the bill, this and that... it adds up, and my sister's birthday she needed money for the motel (understandable), buffets, and crap. Then she wants me to go out with her, GOING OUT TO CLUBS IS NOT CHEAP (nor is it fun....)
She's a freaken drunk too, and it's bothering me, and I can't say a word about it or she gets offended. She has no control over her life, she spends money like water...
She wants me to pull out a loan in my name under some plan so I could buy a house, and she tells me she will pay the bill every month. It's great in theory, but it's also scary because you never know if she will get fired, and I can't have a bill in the thousands right now for another house (100k.... which IS WAY TOO MUCH!!!). I already learn my lesson the first time around about this (and it leaves me miserable... and that was 7k).But she is paying high rent, high car payment, medical insurance, so that has me worried. Essentially, I don't know how to help her, and I need to get away from her.
I need to say no to her.

if I didn't have a family I would have at least 20k at this point, instead of 1k.
That's the Gospel truth.
I'm tired of helping them out of situations.... I want savings.
