[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they have a paid-for condo, paid-for school (or free), all they need is food and health insurance.

So if you can, I would mail them grocery store gift cards every month for $800 (I know, it's a lot, but we spend that with 3 people - not even boneless chicken breasts or steak either).  But DONT BUY WHOLE FOODS - those coin machines pay cash for those, and they will just exchange them for cash.  And I would pay (directly to the company) their health insurance if you can - a good one with no annual deductible, just small copays.

But that is IT - don't spend another dime on your son and his wife.

With a roof over their heads and food on the table, they will just have to get jobs to do anything in their life.  they don't need a car, or clothes, nothing else.  for holidays, buy the grandkids shoes and clothes.  take the MIL kids clothes shopping when you see her.

And, of course, there's college too.  I would leave #2's portion of your estate allllll to a trust for their kids college that #2 can never touch - with some 3rd person as trustee.[/quote]
