Scenario

When adult children disagree about a parent's retirement spending

My sister and I are trying to help our mom make her savings last, but we have completely different ideas about what constitutes essential versus optional spending in her retirement. Every conversation about her budget becomes an argument about our different values and what we think she deserves, and Mom just gets caught in the middle.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Decisions about finite resources become proxy battles for deeper disagreements about values and care.
