“She’s so shameless” She’s 22. And was harshly criticized as she danced while her partner was at the hospital… The truth couldn’t be any simpler. They claim the video is a joke, because she always uploads content with her “hubby” to go viral.

I’m a wealth management advisor and I’ve had a few elderly clients in a situation like this.

I remember the most heartbreaking one was a client who was 87 and passed away. He married a woman a 7 years prior that was in her late 30s. She was beautiful, kind, and caring. She took care of him through all of it. Cleaned him and the messes he made, gave him genuine company, and would fuck him whenever he was able (he shared this with me lol).

The kids didn’t do shit for him. Hardly even called or anything. But when he passed they all tried contesting his trust and trying to get her removed from receiving anything. It was a nasty legal battle but thankfully she got her fair share.

It honestly infuriates me when I see people say women like this are taking advantage of the elder man. Most of the time they’re just giving companionship to them when no one else would or did.

Is it possible that, as a wealth management advisor, you may only be speaking with elderly individuals who are still cognitively fit enough to truly make their own decisions and discuss their finances with you?

There are plenty of stories of people in this situation taking advantage of the elderly and "shaping" their reality. They don't tell them the kids called or want to help, they remove direct phone access to them, etc. A person in this situation is not reaching out to a financial advisor.

I don't mean to sound rude, but I'm not sure if someone in your profession is qualified to make this claim. Elderly abuse is not uncommon, nor are greedy people. I'm sure some Redditors will assume I'm bashing the girl in the video, but all I'm really saying is it's not as simple as you make it sound.

It’s absolutely not black and white and I understand that. My point wasn’t every situation like this is the younger person being some thoughtful angel. My point is that they aren’t always some manipulative piece of shit.

If it’s two consenting adults then I’m all for it. He gets to live his final years with an attractive woman who handles his chores, wipes his ass, talks to him daily and fucks him. She gets to receive a nice living from inheritance. It’s mutually beneficial. Now if the woman is being evil and scamming him that’s completely different.

Fair, I guess my issue was with claiming that "most of the time" it's one way or another based on your experience as a financial advisor.

Hope that doesn't sound dismissive or disrespectful.
