[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I don't think you should lend her the money because it's harming your marriage.

You and your husband need to be a united front on this. Your MIL's financial woes do not come before your marital happiness.

And I agree, if MIL is not asking for the money (do you even know if she would accept it?) I would say she should pull from her own savings to pay off her debt before her kids have to pay it for her.[/quote]

They aren’t united, and DH has just as much a say as she does.  What about his marital happiness?[/quote]

How happy will they be when MIL moves in because she's bankrupt? DH is being delusional about his own happiness.[/quote]

I don’t see signs of this.  She isn’t pulling from her retirement, she is paying off the loan without missing payments, it was a needed renovation not a splurge, and she is close to a fully paid off house which she can downsize from.  This doesn’t strike me as an out of control spender.[/quote]
