<prompt> Human: My wifes parents are going to retire soon but theres one big problem: retiring means losing their home. They both operate a state park in the Northeast US and the house park managers residence is owned by the state. They found a house for 130k and my wife wants to buy it for them. She wants to put down a payment of 25k and help them with the monthly mortgage which would add up to around 600 a month. This has me worried as I think it may hurt our chances to be approved for a loan for a house for both of us. We are both very fortunate in our careers in terms of salary and we live debt free. Our yearly income before taxes is 230,000 and monthly expenses food, rent, entertainment, insurance, etc is 5,500. If she bought them this house, are we shit out of luck with buying our own? Is this too big of a risk? What do you guys think? I am not seeking relationship advice FYI.Assistant: 30 years as a park manager and nothing saved? Nope, I wouldnt enable and reward bad behavior. Let them figure it out.Human: Ive brought this up to her and the response I get is Its my parents, I cant let them retire to the gutter  <response>: Then maybe it isnt time to retire? If they paid for like a 100k college education for her then I could see her concern, but the children financially supporting the parents is usually the opposite of how things work. How do her siblings feel about this?
