<prompt> Human: tl;dr of the last few years: in a vulnerable place, Mum met this guy after getting divorced. He convinced her that he had millions of dollars in a temporarily inaccessible bank account, she then sells her only assets and they spend every last dollar. Turns out to be a big fucking lie. She is now broke, jobless and full of anxiety. Silver lining is that the lying bastard died painfully of liver sorosis and can no longer ruin her life. Before you say it, I spent the last two years trying to pull her away from him, but his isolation tactics held her hostage.Anyway, so before all this happened, she has been the CEO of a few companies and has made good money. She is now getting back in the right head space and interviewing around. Although she hasnt landed one yet, the jobs she is going for pay 150k or more. She has moved back in with her mum so her only outgoings are insurance, food and petrol. All of which cost around 1000 a month. She doesnt have any assets, or debt, but retirement is supposed to be 9 years from now. Once she does get a job, what advice can I give for growing her money aggressively between now and retirement?  <response>: That late in life, she needs to do nothing more than track each dollar she spends and spend as little as possible.1000month is a lot for insurance, food, and petrol for one person.supposed to retire is bullshit. There is nothing that says you are supposed to retire at a certain age. If she can get a job for 150kyr and develop a frugal lifestyle, 5 years of working and saving and she would be in a place where retirement wouldnt be too difficult depending on cost of living.
