slash Ramsey. Today's question comes from Kurt in Florida. I'm a 30-year-old business professional

making six figures with a car payment and a mortgage. I bought a home in Florida mainly for my mom

who now lives with me. I cover all the household expenses, including food and bills. I bought a home in Florida, mainly for my mom, who now lives with me. I cover all the

household expenses, including food and bills. She receives a thousand in Social Security every month,

which she doesn't touch, even though I ask her to at least contribute to the cost of groceries.

My mom also pressures me to send money to relatives in another country, even though I've

explained that I don't have much left after my financial

priorities. Am I wrong for asking her to contribute financially even though I can technically afford it?

How do I set boundaries without feeling guilty or jeopardizing my financial goals?

My father passed away three years ago, so it's just me and her.

Let's start at the end here. How do I set boundaries without feeling guilty or

jeopardizing my financial goals? You don't. You don't. You set boundaries. I love how Dr. Becky

Kennedy says boundaries are something that require nothing of somebody else, and they require me

to act. And so I'm setting a boundary boundary here i'm not going to put any more

money out there or i'm not going to send any money overseas and then your body might feel guilty

your body body might feel shamed for a bit whatever fine but then i'm going to go on and do the next

right thing because i'm not going to be dragged around by my feelings, by the nose.

And is it, am I wrong for asking her to contribute financially?

No. Is she going to? No. So what are you going to do?

You're going to kick your mom out over her not paying $500 in whatever bills?

You get what I'm saying? Like, I mean, what are you going to do?
