[quote=Anonymous]Unlike many other commenters, I agree the education loan is BS. It’s a terrible idea to take out a loan from a relative. Now it’s like you’re expected to fork over money on a regular basis to your in-laws who are or at least claim to be wealthy.

At this point, you need to stop going on vacations or out for meals and distance yourself. That’s all this boils down to. For both sides of the family, you need to become independent with your wife and stop enmeshing yourself financially with your parents or the in-laws.

I have a mother who is very strange about money. She is worth millions but is cheap and will want to tag along on vacation but not pay for any lodging. All sorts of examples of weird behaviors regarding money. It has gotten better now that I have boundaries and don’t put up with this treatment.

I’d also question if your in-laws actually have as much money as they claim. There is a chance they aren’t as wealthy as you think. My in-laws act a bit similar and turns out they are big spenders.
