[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I care because I'm worried that my in-laws are going to spend all their money on my SIL and BIL and their stupid life choices and it will be me and my husband who will have to support my MIL and FIL because they'll go broke.  That's why I care.  [/quote]

I am 100% with you.  My husband and I sacrifice to live within our means, while MIL funds the whims of my BIL’s family.  If she goes broke, it will be my family, not his, funding her life.  [/quote]

It doesn't have to be, you know.  [/quote]

What do you expect us to do? Leave her on the stoop of a local church?  Are there foster homes for broke 85 year olds?[/quote]

She can live with the people who she gave her money to.  [/quote]

These people never have the room/time/$ to take care of other people. They are takers, not givers. It's almost always the frugal, self sustaining kids who end up caring for parents in their old age. It's not fair but it's a fact.[/quote]
