[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually see nothing wrong with this.  I am 100% fine with an adult child - man or woman - setting aside money for their own parents care and wellbeing before they get married and intermingle funds with someone else.

This is a clean way of doing things.  Afterall, when parents pass on, their estate pass on to their descendents.

I bought a condo for my retired parents to live rent-free next to my brother's condo 20 years ago. It allowed my parents to not sell their large sfh as a distress sale and double their pension by rent out their own house. As a result, my parents became well off.

Today, that house of my parents is up for sale and all of their children (we are 3 sibs in total) will make bank because of it. Of course, we are in our 60s and so it will benefit our own children rather than us.  But, if we had not helped our parents, we would not have preserved our generational wealth for our children.

I am all for people with means helping the various generations of the family.

This should absolutely be a fait accompli before you get married and it should not be something that you need to share with your future fiancee. [/quote]
