[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't say lay out all your financial info in front of your parents!  I was suggesting the planner look at the parents parents info, and tell them what they can afford.  Have the planner tell them their kid can't afford to give them $xx because they can't afford to:  they need to save for their child's college and their retirement so they dont end up in the same place.  If financial planner tells parents kid cant afford it, maybe they'll believe it.[/quote]

O.k. that makes a lot more sense.  I think it isn't a bad idea for the parents to sit down with a financial planner to discuss their own finances and figure out a plan for the future.[/quote]

I think if the Dad and Stepmom were decent human beings then yes, the explanation of "I can't float your mortgage and businesses when I have my own retirement/529 to fund" would be a rational course of actions. But if they are selfish and delusional about money it's like waving a red flag in front of a bull.[/quote]
