[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents just “loaned “ my brother $100k for a house. I know he is struggling and we aren’t but it feels like he is being rewarded for making bad choices.[/quote] OP here. This. The grandson chose an expensive out-of-state school, and my kids chose in-state public schools and received $20,000 and $36,000 respectively in merit-based scholarships. They got jobs to pay for expenses. The grandson couldn’t get a job for a long time and when he did, kept getting fired. His father (my BIL) couldn’t help him because he had bad credit (bankruptcy) and didn’t make a lot of money because of no college education. My husband and I scrimped and saved money in 529 plans from the kids’ infancy to pay for college.[/quote] Give it a rest OP. It sounds like your family is doing fine. Do you want to switch places with your BIL? I don't think so.[/quote]
