[quote=Anonymous]My parents are retired and while they're not poor, I notice they are really counting every dollar now. They don't live nearby but they do visit every few months and we also visit at least once a year (harder for us because kids are in school). I have offered to pay for things for them when they are here, but they decline. Once i managed to book them a vacation using airline points, which they accepted. Short of making sure we are paying for all the food and activities when we or they visit (which i try my best to do), how can I help them in a way they will accept? We are also not rich but we are totally comfortable and I feel like i could help them without really feeling it, but they don't seem to realize that. Thanks in advance for any ideas you have tried...
