I mentioned a reverse mortgage could also be an option but theres no way they will do it because they want to leave their children an inheritance :eek: :rolleyes: I would not mind one little bit if they took out a reverse mortgage. It doesn't bother me if i dont get an inheritance from them...

I wish i knew. I have no idea!! They are totally nuts!!!!! :confused:

I was over at mum and dads the other night and there was an article in the sunday times about women and their super. I commented to mum that this doesn't sound like much. I asked her how much super she has and she says about $350 K and dad has $150 K. I said what will you do when it runs out in...

Yes they are both to blame i think

lol yeah from your comments i thought you might not have read it all but i wasnt sure. i go into more detail in reply to rob on i cant remember what page. prob a good idea to read all my posts in this thread before replying. not having a go at you! :) also i probably should have gone...

Yeah they know we are not happy about it! Yeah I think your right we should bring it out into the open. First off my sister and i should talk and then should talk to our parents. The night after the dinner, mum said to me "geez why did my brother have to bring the ipad to dinner. I wish they...

thats why i've decided to be really careful and not tell anyone about my finances. the only person who will know will be my parents. i'll have to be careful and not let the siblings hear about my property purchases. i dont want them to know!

Nope. They wont In fact I have grave worries about how long their super will last them in old age. I'm thinking that when they retire at age 70 (in 5 years time) that they might be lucky to get to age 75 or age 80 before its all gone!! I can see myself helping them out financially. Its...

Yes, agree 100%!! Well said!! also... in regards to your question about inheritance. it will be split equally between the 3 of us! I wander how much deposit he will get for his first home. My sister and I got the same amount. He gets to live rent free for 15 years and i wouldn't be surprised...

Yes good point. thanks for bringing this up :)

yep, you read right and he has has been living rent free in mum and dads IP for the past 15 years! He: Lives rent free Has no savings Gets help from his parents with bills Spends money on toys Its sad. It really is

No, he's not saving for anything for the future. He's pretty ambitionless. Is aimless in life. There has been some resentment from my sister and i about not so much his wastage of money on crap but the fact that his parents regurlarly are paying his bills because he cant afford to pay them yet...

Thank you! Good idea! I havent defragged for a while. duurr *kicks herself* lol why didnt i think of that. last time i did it it helped. when you say remove the adds, do you mean add ons? Anyway what i'll do is i'll go into my control panel and remove programs i dont think i need anymore...

Just need to vent somewhere Brother bought another toy. This time an Ipad. He and his family are on a low income and keep wasting money on toys all the time. No savings whatsoever! I worry about him. I am trying not to judge as I myself had some problems for a few months there...
