1) It’s never too late to grow up. I have a friend who has struggled her whole life financially, in part because she was always expecting a man to rescue her. She finally kinda gets it in her 60’s that she’s responsible for her self financially, but still struggles with this myth that she cant make it on her own. She can and you can too.
