I'm not sure what my brother did tbh. He started to get on top of his debt in his mid 30s, or at least put together a plan to start paying it off. His wife nearly divorced him when she found out, I credit her for sorting him out.
My parents just took a golden goose and decided to eat all the eggs. I try not to be bitter about it because its not like I was anything but a little bludger, but I still idly wonder how different life would be if dad made smart investment decisions.
On the one hand I'm thankful that I didn't have the same mindset. On the other hand, I wish I had someone around to teach me about money from a young age.
