[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, help for a DP is not the same as the kind of ongoing "subsidizing" that would lead to permanent dependence. Your sister is currently working in an office, not doing drugs, so your parents are not subsidizing drug use. It really doesn't effing matter what she was or wasn't doing several years ago. She is in a better place now. You may turn up your nose at her 50k and her fiance who makes 70k, and I know that isn't a ton of money around here and you probably think they are both lazy, but surely you are a big enough person to know that not everyone can do what you did, and that does not mean they have poor character and are forever undeserving of any kindness or generosity. I'm sure you yourself could be doing something bigger and better than biglaw - well, why aren't you? (I'm not really asking for you to respond to that, but try to think about it a little)

Should your sister buy a 500k house? Probably not, especially if they plan to have kids and have daycare bills to look forward to. Personally, I might feel concerned about that. With prices as they are around here, 50k for a DP is not going to buy luxury - it will get them into something very entry level. And I do know people with that income living in 450-500k houses, and living very frugally otherwise, and it isn't a lifestyle I envy but I realize that around here there aren't many choices. But that isn't what you asked, is it?

You come off as being really immature emotionally. You don't really need anyone's permission to be pissed off, but I think it reflects poorly on you. Why exhaust yourself with this?

PP You sound very bitter. Your post is more about you than either OP or her sister.  :roll: [/quote]
