I wonder if Gen Z gets "scammed" through purchases rather than the traditional ones we see with Boomers/Silent Gen. I know a lot of people who purchase really discounted things online and either get their info stolen or the items never come.
Katherine Barrett
I agree with you, and couldn’t disagree more with Justin and Lauren on that story.

Investing ≠ gambling. Get rich quick schemes = gambling.

For the last story I know cheating is cheating but they were in HIGH SCHOOL they were children! Punishing someone for something they did as a child is crazy!

Yes it feels like financiël control .. and renting does not mean you are poor or not well off

On the first one; it sounds like she left to eat in her room BECAUSE mom was complaining about doing it all herself, so personally I think his reaction was justified. It also sounds like mom likes to just invite and insert herself, which is why they were so frustrated.

Justin doing his “Calm” sponsorship as a murder podcast literally made me burst out 😂😂 so funny!

Lauren always cracks me up omg hahahah I love her
Ange

6k on a car I bet it was bought “as is” meaning it doesn’t work or it needs a lot of work to be safe to drive. You can easily buy an old classic car that doesn’t actually drive for 6 k and then you have to put thousands of more dollars into it. My ex was really into buying junk cars and fixing them up and once it was fixed and running properly he would trade it for another junk car. He spent SO much money fixing these cars

She keeps bringing up him paying for his hobbies. Does she not get to invest in her hobbies or the things she’s into??? He feels a little controlling with money outside of this bonus.
Leslie Belmont
I loved the deep breath in part 😂

Also Morgan your first take at the calm sponsorship voice made me feel like I was at yoga and completely relaxed me

I needed Lauren’s message at the end. I just quit my job and I felt like my world was falling apart. And her words hit me so hard. Thank you Lauren

The take on the first story is wild. Justin has a point, that you all stress boundaries but it seemed like he couldn’t have any with his mom without accommodating her in some way.
Emily Cullins
the money scam story!! one of my moms best friends is undocumented so they used that against her and they scammed her out of her entire savings 😭(around 35k) I felt sooooo bad for her!! she’s just a little old lady 😩😭😵💫
Dharma Marquardt

Tess Gearhart

Kaila Harp
Last story: anybody else thinking the husband has somebody else in mind??? 👀
Courtney DC
As an Australian, hearing you talk about a rooting day has me 💀 Very different meaning here lol

Mom story—I do not think he was the asshole. For as many stories as we have seen, it’s evident that 9/10 times, when a child is anywhere close to closed off or firm with parents, it’s because of the parent. He was the asshole in that he invited his dad to fish, but he probably was doing so to get out of his wife’s hair for her recharge. Mom should have asked. “My money” story—yes he is ABSOLUTELY the asshole. It sounds like he has 2 of his own cars, spends his own money for his own hobbies and likes as he wants. It is so common that SAHM are limited with their finances because of mindsets like what he said—it’s “my” money from the breadwinner, not “ours”. He’s a prick. She should be allowed to buy what she wants (within reason) and she should be able to enjoy it just as much as he does. It’s financial abuse!!
Erin
Thank you for your ending comments, was really nice to hear a creator be neutral and say everyone is welcome and not villainize one side or the other.
Collin
The mom is manipulating her lol that’s why she wasn’t invited probably a narcissist just not diagnosed
Two Hot Takes
why do I still feel bad. or like he should've made sure she was in that boat then
Two Hot Takes
That's the hopeful advocate in her lolol

Lauren needs to come on more because she was lagginggg on the financial abuse husband for a minute 😭
Nikki Martinez
I think the mom is the AH in the 1st story. Sounds like the son knows his mom pretty well..
bri avina
The money scam story: the comment had to be the Bf or one of his loser homies lol
