[quote=Anonymous]I am the high earning spouse as a wife. Yes, it is absolutely our money. And any inheritance will be commingled from both sides. I definitely would struggle with spending on extended family — parents, siblings, etc. We have a profoundly disabled daughter who could end up needing 24/7 care for 50 years or more. She will end up in a Medicaid paid care facility, because even though I make plenty of money, it would never be enough. So frankly, understanding her path, I’m generally fine with old folks ending up with Medicare/Medicaid based support. I also don’t value life at any quality. I will likely go somewhere with a right to die eventually. My husband feels quite differently on these subjects. Neither of us are right or wrong. So, I guess my question is — will your husband not spend money on your parents because it is “his” money. Or because he simply has a different view on how elder care should work. To me, those are two very different issues.[/quote]
