[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents are retired and while they're not poor, I notice they are really counting every dollar now. They don't live nearby but they do visit every few months and we also visit at least once a year (harder for us because kids are in school). I have offered to pay for things for them when they are here, but they decline. Once i managed to book them a vacation using airline points, which they accepted. Short of making sure we are paying for all the food and activities when we or they visit (which i try my best to do), how can I help them in a way they will accept? We are also not rich but we are totally comfortable and I feel like i could help them without really feeling it, but they don't seem to realize that. Thanks in advance for any ideas you have tried... [/quote] You said they don't live nearby but they visit every few months. How can they afford to do that if their finances are tight? Do they fly to your home or what?[/quote]
