I don’t want to waste my breathe on helping her since nothing seems to be getting through to her. AITA?

How do you deal with one person having significantly more free time than the other?

I think living a frugal life and aiming to retire early makes a lot of sense.

Recently, some of my family members are diagnosed with a rare diseases. When you look at the statistics, these are so many of these ‘rare’ conditions and cumulatively they are not rare.
