<prompt> Human: Not to bore you, but recently my parents separated and theyre making it by. Im 25 with a solid job making great pay and I was thinking about opening up an index fund for them both with 500 each. Ive tried helping with checks directly but they both decline and say they dont want my help. Basically I want to give them something as a thank you for everything youve done for me my whole life type thing. You dont appreciate until your older the things your parents did for you growing up just to keep the lights on and food on the table. Anyway, I think this might be a good idea so they can sit on it for some years and use it for some of retirement or something both in their 50s now. Just wanted to check in with you guys first  <response>: 500 dollars isnt really likely to change their life any and is gonna be super awkward for them.
