[quote=Anonymous]It depends on your definition of “wealthy”. We are not, we have less than $1m in assets (not including house which has significant equity), HHI btw $150-$200k/yr. Like many in the DC area we are educated white collar professionals in a nice suburban house and have 529s and 401ks and such. Someone like a babysitter or someone from another less-expensive COL area might think we were “rich” but we have nowhere near an unlimited amount of money. Which is why one of my parents, who has a graduate degree and a lifetime of willing fiscal irresponsibility, is on public assistance. We helped them get an EBT card and into subsidized housing (which is not easy to get into as an aside for those who think immigrants just come here and get homes). We already pay for a lot for things for this parent to begin with, and have done so for years. But we can’t completely support them. We just can’t afford it. And if we could, tbh, they don’t deserve it.[/quote]
