[quote=Anonymous]I didn't read all the comments, but I think separating finances might be an option, plus declining family trips if you don't want to pay for your family's costs. Splitting meals at a restaurant is totally fine. DH and I essentially separated over finances because he was giving his parents way too much money at the expense of my being able to save for our kids' college, etc. Really, the only solution was to split finances and monitor his credit. He can give away his money after he funds his pro rata share of our household expenses. Because he has no boundaries with his extended family, it means he'll never retire, and he will have no legacy when he dies. [/quote]
