[quote=Anonymous]My parents live on a small fixed income that meets their basic needs but my dad feels a great deal of financial stress. They are very careful about what they spend, including skimping on food, keep the heat low in winter, don’t use air conditioning, and limit the times they use to car to save on gas. My dad does not like taking help at all from anyone. He worked hard his whole life and has always been financially responsible but various factors meant they ended up on a small fixed income (his pension). I help them in small ways but even then he will etransfer me money to cover any costs I incur so it is hard to help them financially. I wish I could help them more. They still drive and live very independently. They do keep a list of small tasks (mostly electronics based!) for me. [/quote]
