The big thing I see in my mom is she grew up with almost nothing, and all this stuff keeps her a little further from ever being in that situation again. I get it, but it isn't a healthy way to deal with that fear, and you'd be better off saving the money instead. But she doesn't trust banks, so that's another negative. 🤷♂️
