[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Title says it all. Dad lives alone (divorced), he’s 100% mentally there and has some balance issues but otherwise healthy. Is pretty active - cooks, goes to the gym, etc. His current car just went kaput so he needs a new set of wheels. Part of me feels like this makes no sense at all and he should lease, part of me thinks “good for him!”, and still another parr of me thinks, “it doesn’t really matter what I think - it’s his life and his money.” But still - 84 + new car? What would others do here? Say something? Keep out of it? FWIW Dad and I have a very good relationship. [/quote] My folks are 82 and 83, respectively. No major physical or mental issues. I don't think we'd even have a discussion. They would just go buy a new car.[/quote] You don't consider a lack of sound judgement to be a mental issue?[/quote]
