What happens when the internet gets honest about money, and people start showing their whole hand?

This week's episode explores three viral social media posts as a jumping-off point for some real financial conversations. First: a husband who demanded $10,000 from his wife's daughter's medical school fund to buy a truck, and threatened divorce when she said no. Then: a grieving father who wants to give his late daughter's college fund to her best friend instead of a blood relative, dividing the comments. And finally: a gut-punch of an article about families moving aging parents to Mexico because $13,000-a-month memory care facilities in the US are financially impossible for most people.

Topics covered in this episode:
• Why financial entitlement is one of the loudest red flags in a relationship
• How to protect dedicated savings in blended families (prenups, post-nups, separate accounts)
• When it's your money, it's your call, the limits of family obligation
• The long-term care crisis quietly threatening the retirement plans of sandwich-generation millennials
• Why most people have no idea what their parents' finances actually look like, and what that costs them
• Long-term care policies: who needs them, when to get them, and why waiting is the most expensive mistake

If you've been avoiding the money conversation with your aging parents, this episode is the sign to stop waiting.
