Be free with advice, but don't take responsibility for their decisions.

I have someone in my life that would make me responsible for every decision, and responsible for every bad outcome, and that's difficult to deal with. So I give them general advice but I don't specifically tell them what to do or not to do... To do anything else would invite them to constantly complain when they're investment loses money. For the rest of my life. I don't have time for that
