[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My IL are similar to your family. No retirement money, no health insurance and the youngest of 6 still in college (we are paying the tuition instead of saving for our own kids). They moved to the US to live with my SIL who fully supports them as well as 2 younger sibling. While I understand the struggle I am finding this incredibly rude to the people who marry into the family. IL make no effort to improve their financial situation and assume money will just keep coming. Can you imagine if both sets of parents are excepting to be fully supported while enjoying a green card but not bringing any income? My parents lend us money for our down payment (they are not rich at all) but our money is leaving through the other door to support my IL family (for frivolous things sometimes). This is a recipe for disaster. Particularly since she makes little money herself. She should contribute proportionally to what she makes. Leave the husband out of it.  230 is not a luxurious life over here. [/quote]

No offense, but you presumably agreed to this.  It stinks, but you could have said no (especially to a sibling's college tuition!).  [/quote]
