Will My Parents Ever Retire? Or Just Keep Remodeling? 🤔

Sometimes I look at my parents and wonder if they even know what retirement means. Every time they get a bonus or a little extra cash, I think, "Hey, that's a few years of freedom right there!" But nope—they rush to spend it on another kitchen upgrade or a new deck. Meanwhile, their savings account is practically a myth. I've tried gently suggesting they invest or plan for the future, but it's like talking to a wall. They seem happy living paycheck to paycheck, but I can't help worrying. Will they ever stop working? Or will I end up retiring before they do, while they're still grinding away at jobs they don't even like? I don't want to be pushy, but it's hard to watch. Has anyone else dealt with this? How do you help loved ones see the bigger picture without overstepping? 😓 #RetirementStruggles #FamilyFinance #WorkplaceWorries #JobCareer
