rina, hb used to give my ILs 1/3 or more of his salary b4 we got married. then his unmarried sis aso gave $1K+, can u imagine 2 old folks need to spend $2K+ a mth & still not enugh? so when we planned to get married, i told hb needs to cut down his contributions since he's going to hv his own family & hse. tink my ILs really tink their son earns a lot since we can own a car & go for tours, but in actual fact, i was e 1 paying, fr hse utilities bills to car loan to travelling. then when we planned for a bb, told hb need to cut down & stop paying e variable component - FIL's CC bills, his 2nd sis insisted to carry on give FIL e CC, so i told hb then let her pays. surprisingly when hb cuts down e contributions by more than half, they still can manage, so aren't they being pampered BIG TIME back then. i told hb since his parents don know how to save $ & dun hv any insurance, he & his sis shd help them save $ for rainy days. i tink my ILs old tinking, heavily rely on their children to support them. for me, i told hb we hv to plan more & save more for our future as i don wan to be our children's liability as i tink e living standards in future wld be even higher tha our children may even hv prob trying to feed themselves & their family.
