[quote=Anonymous] We're the "poor" relatives! We make about the median income for Montgomery County, but our families make even more, in various parts of the world. My parents are highly critical of our low-paying jobs (in medical research, curing cancer and all that), and even though they often offer to help, we've learnt to refuse politely, because it always comes with so much sickening guilt-inducing strings. My BIL on the other hand had been extremely generous in times of stress and has never expected anything in return. If ever our positions are reversed one day, we will return the favor. So... you can help, OP, as long as there are no strings attached. On way of doing this it to make it specific, such as settling the rent, or paying a medical bill, or doing the back to school shopping for their kids. But never hand them cash if you feel they don't have their priorities straight. [/quote]
