[quote=Anonymous]How does your DH feel about this? What is his family financial situation? If I were in your shoes, I would take out the loan to get my family out. I would live bare minimum on dh’s income alone. My parents live in America but are poor immigrants. They had some health problems and have no money or income. We took over all their bills. Eventually we bought them a house in our name, pay all the bills and give them allowance plus gifts like cars, clothes and vacations. This increase happened over a decade. Initially it was $1000 per month for bills. Then we paid the mortgage. Then I gave them my old car. Then I bought them a new car. We are also Asian. It is not in our culture to take care of our parents. I’m fortunate that my DH is on board taking care of my family financially. I am always surprised how some Americans turn their backs on their family members in regards to money.[/quote]
