[quote=Anonymous][quote]If you do anything at all, I would suggest focusing on HER financial education as a young person starting out in life, and not focusing at all on him. Things like contributing to retirement accounts early for compounding, rent insurance, having an emergency fund, etc. - things that may not have occurred to her, or if they have, she doesn’t realize how those things add up. If she’s smart, she’ll listen to that and come to her own conclusions on the rest.[/quote]

I second or third this.

I also think that comments at that time when she says something stupid like it's cute that he hasn't gone to the dentist for six years might be in order.

Your sister sounds like she has her own set of issues if she thinks stuff like that is "cute" and she's looking forward to taking care of him.  She'll soon be taking care of absolutely everything.

If they haven't set a date and haven't started looking for $ then I'd back off on anything direct right now. I wouldn't give her $ and I'd let her know that you support her if she ever thinks that this wedding isn't the best idea.

And if she goes through with it, I'd be incredibly encouraging when she's fed up at 26 and wants a divorce. Hopefully she'll wait on having kids.
