[quote=jficquette]I have paid half my fathers rent since 1998. Fortunately he lives in a low cost area. One day if I get rich I will just buy him a house.
Now I know how it was for him to pay for me growing up. Especially every few months when he needs new tires or car repairs or whatever “off budget”
Our society needs to go back to how it use to be. The deal was your parents took care of you when you were growing up and when they get old you take care of them

Agreed.
Unfortunately, Americans seem to be some of the most selfish people on the planet when it comes to taking care of their parents. Maybe it has something to do with how spoiled and entitled they are as kids. From what I’ve seen, the harder kids have it when young, the better and more considerate they are as adults.
