<prompt> Human: Technically its not a windfall per se. My parent and I own a string of real estate that a company wants to buy out. Im 30 at the moment with about 80k in savings. My parent hasnt any money saved at the age of 49. If I were to forgo my part of the buyout, they could pay off their debt and live comfortably til their social security kicked in.  <response>: No reason to risk your future so someone else can retire at 49.
