I think it does come down to having a lot of conversations like this. voice-verified

Like with my dad, I've asked, Hey, like how are you getting out? voice-verified

What's your social life look like now? voice-verified

And he was able to join a church in his area and it's been a good source of community. voice-verified

And my mom similarly has a great group of friends out in Portland. voice-verified

They call themselves the Sisterhood of the Traveling Tie-Dye, which is the huge thing. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

And so encouraging our parents to really develop these deeper relationships later in life, I think is helpful, but we all know that it can be really hard to make friends as an adult. voice-verified

So just having that conversation, asking them what's going on in their lives and kind of gently nudging them in the direction. voice-verified

of reaching out to people, especially if they're living alone, is really important. voice-verified

Well, there's actually a lot that you can't do because your parents are the ones in control of these accounts, right? voice-verified

So it's technically totally within their right to send everything in their retirement accounts to someone in OnlyFans and rack up a bunch of credit card debt. voice-verified

That's the unfortunate reality, is that there's a lot that we cannot do to stop our parents from doing things like this. voice-verified

But giving them resources is something that can help. voice-verified

So one tool that voice-verified

I like to suggest is the AARP's Fraud Watch Network Helpline. voice-verified

That's a number that folks can call and a website that people can visit to get resources about scams. voice-verified

So if you are thinking that your parent might be scammed or talking with a scammer, you can send them that information and hopefully they'll be able to see some sense and connect with this tool. voice-verified

But it's just a tough situation. voice-verified

because you're not the one in control of their bank account. voice-verified
