[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow I am dismayed you are being criticized. You are doing a wonderful thing. Maybe talk to your niece/nephew + sister separately. It is your business contrary to crabby D.C.U.M. Folks. Family needs to look out for family. No one should turn out worse than their parents good luck + God speed![/quote]
No. OP is inserting herself into her sibling’s finances. She needs to butt out. [/quote]
Actually, she's trying to help out niece/nephew. DH and I have talked about the same for SIL's kids, because they haven't saved nearly enough either. I wouldn't tell SIL to do anything different, though. That's not my place. I don't agree with all of the financial decisions that SIL makes, but she's not irresponsible by any means. She probably doesn't agree with all of the decisions we make.

At the end of the day, though, niece and nephew are clearly college-bound, and I don't want them to suffer a lifetime of debt. So we'll help out if needed. OP, focus on what you can do. You can't make your sister do anything different.[/quote]
