[quote=Anonymous]IL's so hard, and money makes it complicated for sure.  My IL did the opposite of others and had the "face" that everything was fine, and then didn't tell my husband (boyfriend at teh time) they couldn't affort to pay his tuition for his jr yr at college, he found out once registrar wouldn't let him register for classes.  They filed for bankruptcy 10+ yrs ago, my husband has worked hard and we have a nice, comfortable but not extravagant life... ILs still like to act like all is good but its not, and they make judgemental comments about our spending or choices (which are NOT extravagant and we save a lot for retirement and college for kids).  I try to take it as their own issues, not ours, let them say it but try not react, which is hard i understand.  His mom even made a strange comment in the card she sent to her son, my husband for his birthday- about what she could not afford and maybe he could.  I am confident his parents would live WAY beyond their means with the $ we have, no doubt but they judge as if we are, but we aren't living beyond our means.  Feel for you OP, just, i suppose sharing you aren't alone![/quote]
