[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I strongly dislike my mother, she always made terrible financial decisions, and now in her old age I still sent her $500 a month to bridge the gap between Social Security and what she really needs to live. My spouse doesn’t like her either, but has no problem with this - because it’s what you just do.[/quote] Right, but I think it's all relative. Are you doing it at a cost of being able to save for a downpayment? Are you jeopardizing your own retirement? Are you saving to help your kids with college? The issue is finite resources and conflicting priorities within a marriage. It's particularly nuanced when one set of parents needs help and the other does not. [/quote]
