[quote=Anonymous]OP I am in exactly your shoes except for the $2mm inheritance. I’m at a complete loss. If I’m being honest I’m pretty judgmental of how they lived, having been raised to think austerity is a virtue. A further complication for me is that my DH is south Asian, so there’s a strong cultural pressure to pay for them in old age. And I’m actually okay with that, to a point, but the bigger issue is the yawning cultural gap between our definitions of reasonable living standards. Right now my in-laws have a house that’s more than TWICE the size of the house I live in with my family of 5. It’s going to be incredibly hard for both of us to meet their needs without pulling our hair out about what “need” means. [/quote]
