Participant[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.

GuestI have to agree with Cbad and echo a lot (No really a lot) of your sentiments. My wife and I struggled through school getting our degrees (since most in either family have none) while working fulltime jobs to pay bills. We finally bought a fixer upper foreclosure house close to really good jobs and have been working on fixing it up.
Now my mum-in-law (who is an early baby boomer) and was a princess growing up has lost her job and not really employable. So right when we were thinking of having the kid(s) thing starting up and life was looking fun, we have to think about her (a grown up kid who needs support).
Now I am looking at mobile homes senior living places and hoping that we can afford a place. I figure if I have to pay the rent I might as well try to pay my own rent. I don’t know if it is selfishness, as one person put it earlier, that we don’t take care of our parents or elderly. I would like to switch that around and say I hope (and I plan on it) I am never a burden on my children (if we have them now). Aren’t parents who waste their life living free and not worrying where money comes from being the selfish ones?
