I’m sorry, but the math just DOESN’T work anymore. A lot of jobs are still paying somewhere between $15 and $21 an hour. Work 40 hours a week and you’re making roughly $2,600 to $3,640 a month BEFORE taxes. Now go pay $1,500+ for rent. Throw in a car payment, utilities, gas, groceries and all the other random crap that somehow costs twice what you remember it costing. And that’s before childcare. Car insurance. Health insurance. Student loans. Credit cards. An emergency. A flat tire. A trip to the doctor. Or God forbid you actually want to save some money and enjoy your life once in a while. I’ve been a financial planner for almost 20 years, so I’m obviously a HUGE believer in budgeting and living below your means. But there comes a point where telling someone making $18 an hour to “just budget better” is ridiculous. You can’t Dave Ramsey your way out of $3,500 of monthly expenses when you’re bringing home $2,600. Sometimes the problem isn’t the budget. The income simply doesn’t cover the cost of being alive anymore.

"You're only one medical emergency away from bankruptcy" - bitch, I'm one flat tire away from bankruptcy, wtf are you talking about?

Being in your 50s is honestly hilarious. 😂 One friend is a grandma, another still has a 10-year-old at home. One is celebrating 25 years of marriage, while another is dating someone who’s 25. One looks like they haven’t aged since 35, and another threw their back out just by sneezing. Some are planning retirement, others are starting over after divorce. Some are becoming empty nesters, while others are still attending school meetings and making lunches. Some are booking cruises, others are discovering dating apps for the first time. Half of us are saying, “Life is just getting started!” while the other half need three business days to recover from sleeping in the wrong position. We’re all the same age, yet somehow living completely different lives. 😂 Nobody warned us that our 50s would look this chaotic, unpredictable, and entertaining. Honestly, we deserve a group discount on therapy, multivitamins, and heating pads. 😭

Matt Walsh says postpartum depression is often about selfishness. I think he badly misses what's happening to mothers. Walsh has been one of the loudest voices on the Lindsay Clancy case. His argument is that "temporary insanity" is a myth, it can never be proven, and anyone could claim it. He has a point about one thing. There's no lab test that proves someone was psychotic months ago. But that's not how trials work. Jurors weigh everything. Was there a motive? A history of violence or drug use? What do the people who knew her best say? What does the medical record show? In Clancy's case, the record shows her deteriorating as more medications were added, with an antidepressant dose doubled the day before. No affair, no money motive. Her husband and mother-in-law stand by her. You can't fake that kind of paper trail. And psychosis from postpartum or from a drug reaction is different from a chronic illness. When the drug is gone, the risk can be gone too. Walsh also argued that much postpartum depression comes from babies forcing parents to put their own needs aside, and that the more selfish you are, the harder it hits. I see it differently. Women in the US take far more psychiatric medications than men. About 1 in 5 women are on antidepressants. Why? Many moms raise kids far from family and friends. In about 70% of families, both parents work. Society celebrates youth, beauty, wealth and career, and stopped celebrating mothers. That's not selfishness. That's isolation. Add severe sleep deprivation, a hormonal roller coaster, and 20-minute Zoom visits that end in another prescription. Since my first Clancy video, I've had patients email me about the frightening thoughts they had on medications after giving birth. Those thoughts are more common than people admit. Acting on them is rare. We need to prepare women for motherhood, involve their families, and stop treating this with pills alone.
