[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. My sister's lives overseas and makes a pretty good amount of money living as an expat. Housing is completely paid for, receives cost of living expense, free ticket home each year.  She has a good life. She doesn't want to live in the States and that is why she hasn't purchased a home. Meanwhile, I work my ass off, save money to provide a nice life for my family. I have 2 kids. I wouldn't choose one over the other and I would divide my assets equally regardless of who has what.

I would respect their decision, but I would be hurt. Since it was brought up, I felt that they should know how I feel and to know that just because I own a house, I also own a mortgage and I am not rich. I am for an equal solution. Not one over the other. I want to give them an alternate solution where we can own it equally.

It's in a vacation destination and neither one of us will live there but we would visit.[/quote]

You have a right to your feelings and you even have a right to express your feelings to your parents.  But in the end, it’s their decision.  Know that you will sound like a spoiled child when you run to your parents with “it’s not fair”.[/quote]

And along these same lines, your parents will sound like total fools when they run to you with “We need help in our old age.” Um, you cut me out of your will, I cut you out as well. [/quote]
