[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My brother really really wanted to attend NYU, wasn't eligible for aid, loans or scholarships. My parents paid for school and high cost of living in NYC even though they could've made him attend community college or much cheaper state school while living at home. They also paid for his MBA from a T20.  He is a corporate consultant now. It would be so cruel if he didn't try to make life easier for my parents in their old age.

I attended a state school in full merit scholarship and started an engineering job at 21 so they didn't have to spend as much on me but they would've done the same if i wanted or needed it. I find ways to make retirement comfortable for them, not because they ask or I owe them but because I love them.

They wont need help with bills but will be on limited income and not able to live they way they could be if a lot of their savings weren't gone into helping their 18+ children build good lives for themselves.[/quote]

That's only fair. Your brother has to be an absolute douchbag if won't help him.[/quote]
