[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remind your husband, to help solidify his refusal, that SIL will never learn to manage her money, and getting her used to living on less ASAP will mean reducing the frequency of pleas for money in the future. These 10 acres should a money pit. She will ask your husband to help with maintenance, and real estate taxes, etc. If she lives in a wealthy area, she will socialize with wealthy people and require a similar lifestyle. On the contrary, she needs to live in a middle class neighborhood, and realize she doesn't need designer anything to fit in and be happy. The BIL who wants to enable her is doing her a HUGE disfavor.

+1. I know people like your SIL, OP - and your SIL will never be happy, it will never be enough.  SIL is likely surrounded by materialistic people, so SIL is also materialistic and shallow.  SIL will live to impress these people, who could likely not care less about her.  Just no.  No is a full answer. Just no.

Oh, and no. [/quote]
