[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents live in Europe - I am an only child and we live in nyc. Parents have around $15m net worth. They are getting older and need a lot of help but refuse to consider moving and say nyc is too expensive and have no interest in not being in nice apt on upper east side. I have no idea what to do about this. I have a full time very intense job and two elementary kids. Any tips? [/quote]

ughh selfish boomers amirite?[/quote]

How on earth is it selfish of them to not want to uproot their entire lives in the place that’s been their home to move to a different country because their child decided to move across the ocean? It’s an unfortunate situation but I’m sure their entire support network is near them. Their doctors, their church/place of worship if they have one, all of their friends.  I don’t think younger people realize just how much is being asked when they want their parents to literally move to a different country in their old age. Then they have no one but that child so of course they seem clingy. You don’t just go make a whole new set of friends when you’re seniors. [/quote]
