[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No job and likely will not get one Has kids Divorced and ex-spouse doesn’t provide much in the way of support Does not live around here (8+ hours drive from DC area) Kind of at a loss as to how to help, especially for the sake of the kids. [/quote] Nope. They need to get a job. To the extent you can host the young cousins ever, do that. But do not start a precedent of funding your adult siblings life or issues. If they need welfare help them sign up for all their benefits or direct them to NGOs who can help. You have more than enough stuff to be saving you and your spouses income for for now and the future (401k, 529s, IRAs, emergency funds, retirement, elderly care, family vacations, kids ECs, travel, etc.)[/quote]
