Maybe I’m old-fashioned in this area, but unless taking my parents in would hurt me or my kids in some way, I can’t see myself doing anything else, and I don’t care how responsible or irresponsible they are. I wouldn’t be here if not for them. I can’t see forcing them onto the streets by my refusal to help.

Financial irresponsibility is a big problem but I think I’d get myself a safe and put all my important documents in it and hope that’s enough–family is family, and I help family when I can.

I guess I must of done a good job teaching my sons about money, my oldest who is turning 25 this year, owns his own business, is getting married, and is looking at buying his first home. He has already started investing for his retirement, and is very frugal.
He always talks about the work ethic I instilled him with, as being the key to his success, I do not know but I know I could not be prouder of him!!!

I think as a parent, not only is it important to raise your kids to be financially stable, but to make sure you leave them financially stable as well. Check out this article I came across about your money after retirement: http://www.money-rates.com/news/Tell_Your_Heirs_What_They_Are_Getting.htm

Hi Neil – JW and his family are fine. Unfortunately, some events lead to him having to pull the plug on his blog. But they are okay.

Any idea what happened to JW over at needtobedebtfree? He vanished something like 4 weeks ago; never to be heard of.

I looked at the last entry via google cache; there was no mention of him going off air.
