<prompt> Human: Hey PF! Has anyone here specifically planned for the possibility of supporting their parents or grandparents as they ageretire? Im interested in hearing about how others approach this issue. My dad step-mom are fine, and my mom step-dad are working on being fine being able to support themselves in retirement but my in-laws have literally no retirement savings at age 60 65. They still have 15 years on their mortgage. They have almost no emergency savings. MIL was a SAHM for many years and thus wont get much Social Security right?. Neither has a job with a 401K and neither is willing to try to get a better job at this point in life. They live paycheck to paycheck and want to retire within 5ish years.They like to make jokes about my husband and I paying for everything for them in old age, especially since we have the audacity not to provide grandchildren for them. I have 2 SILs but they are both really struggling with any sort of career advancement and likely wont be able to support their parents much. My in-laws even wrote my husband out of their will, not because hes a bad son, but because hes the only one of their 3 kids with any sort of success in life and therefor he doesnt need any inheritance. I dont want them to end up homeless or something someday, but I dont want to be totally responsible for them either. How do we plan for this? How do we approach having a serious conversation with them about it? Whats a reasonable amount of support to give them? 10 of our income? I have no idea how to approach this because my parents always made sure I knew they could take care of themselves as they aged barring catastrophic emergencies. Those of you who have went through this, did you move home? Or get your parents to move to you? If we had to move, we would take huge hits to our careers as the industries we work in now arent present in their town. If we have to pay for a retirement home, is it going to put us in debt? Does Medicare cover any sort of specialized home if they get sick or something?  <response>: If this were me, I would start to develop money problems and complain about always being broke. I wouldnt enable them at all. They can pay rent with their social security checks, or move where they can afford it. Say if in-law dad gets 1200 and in-law mom gets 600 a month. Thats 1800 they should learn to live on.
