Hello, .

I'm sorry your mother is so draining. I know that feeling.
You don't have to feel guilty about trying to break away from the negativity your mum brings you. It's perfectly okay to do what's best for you.

I'm not sure how to get your mum to see that riches isn't everything and that rich people aren't living the lives we imagine them to. Many blogs about becoming millionaires or billionaires makes one thing clear- they are hard working people who live below their means to save as much as they can.

There are some things we can't teach a person.

I'm glad you're content with what you have . Few can claim that. It's an achievement in itself.

I hope your mother comes to get senses soon. In the mean time know that, from what you've said, you're doing the very best you can and that's good enough. Take comfort in that. No one should expect more than that from you.
