[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get that he is cheap, but you are oddly cheap too. You are being subsidized. Own that. Is that why you are cheap about subsidizing others?[/quote]

It seems like he is fine subsidizing his immediate blood relatives and/or people who need the money, not already wealthy ILs.  [/quote]

Nobody is subsidizing anyone if you pay for your own expenses! You subsidize someone if you pay for someone ELSE's expenses. It doesn't matter if that someone else is wealthy or not, it makes no difference. In fact the OP is demanding that the in-laws subsidize HIM and absurdly feels entitled to it. Maybe his expenses have always been paid, like for a child, and he has never realized he's now a married adult? Imagine this guy ends up having kids! Who'll be paying for their expenses? Grandparents? Government? [/quote]

I mean the informal college "loan" that the ILs are now asking son-in-law to pay back is pretty weird.  Maybe they aren't as rich as they let on and couldn't afford college after all?
