<prompt> Human: Hi all,My dads getting old 51. I love him very much. His eyesight is just slowly getting worse over time, and Im scared that he may never retire. Hes declared bankruptcy about 6 -7 years ago when I was young kid and our house got foreclosed. poor financial decisionsI live with my dad right now and I am in the process of moving out with him along with my mom and sister to another house to rent since we need to leave out current house that we rent out due to landlords family reasons. Compared to his salary and credit, I significantly trump both of them. For renting purposes, should I be the main POC to handle all these issues? Also, I eventually want to live on my own and build out my family, and Im afraid that my parents wont be able to keep up with rent if I do leave. My dad talked to me about cashing out his 401K to help pay for initial rent deposits and I completely told him Id cover anything with my e-fund. Hes been doing his best to get his life back ever since bankruptcy and I want to help him any way I can. Any tips or suggestions or something that I can take advantage of?  <response>: Do NOT put any of their bills in your name. Eventually you will want your own home, car, etc. and having those bills in your name will make things unnecessarily difficult for you. Best thing you can do is help them learn to budget and to live within that budget. If you wish to help them improve their credit score pay any payments directly to the debtors above and beyond what your parents contribute. The best way to help anyone is to encourage, teach, and support them into doing it themselves. What if you get hit by a truck tomorrow? You cant encourage them to be dependent on you or anyone else.
