“You definitely should find some ways that they can help you because it's not just the time to sit down and do the things that you know you need to do with your finances, it's also the mental load. And guess what? I know you are already handling the mental load for maybe everything in your family, if not the majority of the things. So it's okay to help spread that load out and relieve yourself of some of that and get rid of some of the guilt surrounding that as well.”
