[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd be so angry if my parents did this. It's ALL going to fall on you now as their kid. Even little appts like eye appts where they dilate your eyes will need someone to drive the parent. Parents should be helping each other through sicknesses in old age and not burdening their kids. And multiple holidays now...

My aunt and uncle did this and financially they really never recovered.[/quote]

This.

Financially it's a disaster. They can't afford as much divorced as they could have together. Your dad will likely remarry and she'll get everything.[/quote]

Inheritance is dumb anyway. We should tax inheritance at 90% and block gifts from people over 60 to pay for medicare.[/quote]

This would be a new, 2nd wife inheriting everything, not kids. Presumably wives would still inherit their spouse's money.

I don't think marriage should be allowed after a certain age. All around my parents' friends I see fortune hunters marrying older men as their retirement plan and it's crazy weird.[/quote]

It's basically paying for in-home long-term care. I don't see the problem. It would be very expensive to pay for that on an hourly basis.

I think it's strange that kids feel entitled to someone else's money.[/quote]
