[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Old people are TERRIFIED of online money. I have a good relationship with my MIL and am on all her bank accounts. I set up online banking so I wouldn’t have to go into the branch and she freaked the F out calling me sobbing saying she trusts me but not all the hackers and she worked all her life for that money, etc. I don’t have the heart to tell her the info is all online at the bank whether I log in or not. Anyway it’s generational. Let it go.

As for the future. Talk to your DH and set up boundaries for sure and a budget if needed and stick to it. [/quote]
Yes, this. But I would rather have parents terrified of online money then vulnerable to scammers. [/quote]

You know that the first person who calls them offering to fix their iPad and asks for their social security number (real incident, not made up) is going to get it no questions asked, right?[/quote]
My mom fell for this a few months ago, even though she knew better! They said they were trying to get a package to her, but needed all this info. She gave it them. The next day she realized what she had done. Luckily she has no money, so they didn’t get anything.[/quote]

You need to put a freeze on her credit. [/quote]
