[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a conversation you need to have with your husband, not DH. Personally, I had decent, hardworking lower middle class parents and if I had the funds I’d be happy to help with their retirements (If I didn’t have the money, then I’d prioritize my kids’ college and my own retirement). But if you don’t want to contribute, talk to your DH.[/quote]

Yes I have other priorities. Helping siblings exiting the system, ~ 4 years after high school. And pretty much anything else they NEED, to help them stay on the right track.(as you can imagine those years are fragile). But it hasn’t been elder care kind of $$$$. Eats into time, and stress more than anything.

And honestly I really see her through rosy glasses, she was a hard working single mom ;at the time that could have been considered working poor. She kept her family together when my mom couldn’t. But also, she  could  be making better financial decisions, she’s living wayy beyond her means while not saving.
