Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 763

"Talking to him won't do any good. He says all the right things and gives you the perfect answers, but he'll never tell you the truth."

"It's fine, I'll still ask around for you.

Just transfer whatever you have into my account."

"I don't have much left. Most of my saved wages and the profits you made for me in the market went toward buying Mason's house.

I gritted my teeth and kept a hundred grand for myself. I told him I wouldn't pay for his renovations; he has to figure that out on his own.

You can't just hand everything to a kid on a silver platter. He's at an age where he needs to take responsibility and learn how hard life is."

Otherwise, he would never learn to appreciate anything.

"You're right, Rachel. You already paid for the house in full so he wouldn't have a mortgage. You've done more than enough."

"Exactly. That's what I figured, so I'm cutting him off. From now on, I'm building a nest egg for my own retirement.

If he actually marries that waitress, who knows how she'll treat me in the future?

Sweetheart, remember this: having your own money is the only absolute truth in life. No matter who you're with, always hold something back—even if it's your husband or your own kids.

When you can't take care of yourself and become a burden, your spouse and your own flesh and blood might secretly wish you'd just die already.

Back in the village, the elders without pensions were the perfect example of that.

But there were two elderly folks who were different. The moment they got a slight fever, their kids rushed them to the hospital and paid for all their treatments. Everyone was so jealous.

But the truth was, it wasn't because their kids were so wonderfully filial. It was because those two elders' pensions were the main source of income for the family."

"You make a valid point."

Mira suddenly remembered something. "Rachel, have you set up a retirement fund?"

"No."

"After this operation is over, you should invest in The Solflare Pension Portfolio. It's managed by our own finance division, so it's completely secure.

When you're older, they'll pay you a fixed amount every month.
