[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get annoyed when my parents give money to support my brother, who could be self sufficient if he chose to be. As the kid who is most financially successful, I will be expected to support my parents in their old age. The more they give away to him, the most support I will have to give them.[/quote] I hope that we can all agree this is a problem. Have you discussed this with your parents in terms of asking them what provisions they've made for themselves for old age?[/quote] This is true in our family too. We are the financially stable contingent and the others get money that is never offered to us. MIL is borderline dementia, so she thinks the money will last forever and there is no changing her mind. It's going to be shit city in 10-15 years. [/quote]
