However if she also pay for teh household expenses, then the $1600 for her mum's pocket alone, it is more than enough. I do agree that she need to save for her old age. Her mother probably is a greedy black hole.Yes, reminds me of my dearest lovely mum.
Having said that, I used to give my mother more than half of my salary when I was a fresh graduate but the money given remained as it was till her passing. I would give more when i have more year end bonus and $500 for her ang pow money. Later year increase to $1000 as new notes for her to prepare her ang pow. Luckily, My mum never complained about monthly expenses given even though I have risen through ranks in my career, she is so proud of my success and was a very appreciative kind woman. I am truely proud of her and miss her dearly.
At least, glad to say I treated her extremely well when she was alive. A great and altruistic mum that never asked for more.
Just prayed last week at the temple during her anniversary.
Always in our hearts 💕.
Treat your parents well when they are still living.
You will never forget the fond memories when they are gone.
