when we go out to dinner with mother law she pays, around 500 - 800 any time we go out.

she owns a house off michigan ave in chicago, and a 4 bedroom home on a pga golf course in naples florida (around 800k minimum from what i've looked into)

gave wife a diamond necklace appraised at 80k for a graduation present

bought both daughters vehicles around 70k each, wired us cash to buy my wife's latest car.

wife has a black amex, that between her, her brother and mother typically rack 30k a month on the joint account.

wife and her brother went to private school (30k tuition each, and 50k tuition for college) - (thats like 400k for both girls).

we also know mother in laws mom owned a home in southern california with 14 bedrooms and 11 baths.


my wife and i both work very hard, we typically are able to charge the majority of the things in our life on the amex her mother provided for us and invest the rest of our measly income (around 110k a year) we live well beyond our means me driving a 80k bmw living in 1+ million dollar home, and her mother flips the bill for everything.

do you think this ''old money'' will ever run out? my wife and i aren't sure if we need to plan for a major life adjustment if it does. with all of this spending, how much money would the mother law need to sustain a positive flow (she doesn't work, though I know she does major investing).

SHe is in debt up to her ears trying to maintain the "old style". You will have to support her in a few few year. Save save save.

As a person whose native language is not English, does "mother law" mean "mother-in-law"?

Johnny, This is your mother-in-law, Edith. I can't believe you are talking about MY family's old money on a crass, public forum. I am cutting you & Stephie off. My driver will retrieve the car and you can leave the black AMEX in the glove box. By the way, it was 52 million. Stephie's siblings will be happy not to split with her after my death, which the doctor says will be within the next six months.

+1 You should've added . . . "I told Stephie from the very beginning that you were just after our money!! She wouldn't listen!"

Especially since that amount of earnings is measly.

Long before the money rus out, the IRS is going to come knocking because something tells me mommy isn't paying gift taxes on all this nonsense.

If she indeed has money, I hope she leaves it all to the humane society and none to you.

You do know this is none of your business? It isn't your money (nor your wife's) to count on or spend, so try to live within your means.

The only way to find out is to have her killed. Then see who gets what. Hopefully you get most of it. Good luck.
