My Mum has a really hard problem at saying "ok it was my fault" or "these things happen in life!" She always has to put blame on someone.
She blamed my Dad for having a breakdown last year cause he didn't mow the lawn! Neither did she, I used to walk to their house and do it.
She blamed my sister and I because we hadn't achieved what she had wanted us to achieve in life.
She blamed me because I was born disabled. she blamed a work colleague for bullying and then she said her sis who lived in Australia had died.
She was disgnosed with Heart disease and blamed the family for it! We've also been forbidden to tell anyone or she'll kick us out of the family!!!
I'm petrified of her and I'm 32 and 5'10 while she's 56 and 4'9. What's up with her? Why can't she say "that's life, these things happen?"

I have seen many insightful answers on here about how nobody can live on the current minimum wage and how the government needs to do something about it.

These envious amounts of logic and compassion have me inspired.

Therefore, I think we should lobby the government to raise the minimum wage to $30/hour. That's over $60,000 a year. Then nobody in this whole country would be poor.

What do you think???

I think I may be too obsessive and I a may have an addictive personality.
I used to take drugs and drink when I was a teen but I gave that up.
Now though I find myself being obsessed with counting money and spending money. I spend a lot of time planning budgets that run for months in the future listing everything I will be spending money on, then I will go out to take my duughter to playgroup ro something and end up in town spending too much money on things that I didn't need yesterday but now seem essential to my mind. Then of course the budget is blown so I have to make a new revised budget and then the same things happen again.
My family has always been very poor and I am not well off now, but considerably more comfortable than when I was a child.
Why is it that I am so obsessed with money? Is it an addictive personality, because my parents are poor or a bit of both?
And what can I do to stop needlessly spending money and thinking about money all the time?
