[quote=Anonymous]My FIL was a vp for a large corporation when he was laid-off in his mid-fifties. He became so discouraged after looking for a job in his field for a year, that he decided it was futile and declared himself "retired". Fortunately, MIL had a job and kept working into her seventies. They were forced to downsize from a house to an apartment and today we help subsidize their housing since their retirement savings are inadequate. OP's FIL may end up "retiring" since he is not forced to find a job since you have taken in him and BIL. Trust me, this is going to become burdensome. You also haven't mentioned if/when you two plan to have children. You say your home is small--I assume that means you only have a couple of extra bedrooms at most. Where does baby go? I think you need to put a limit on this offer or you will end up resenting your in-laws and your DH due to the sacrifices you will make. [/quote]
