Re: Teens

Another well-put post.

My sister had her house bought for her by her then-husband's parents.

They subsequently remortgaged the house (which wasn't theirs to remortgage), undoubtedly to pay for his alcohol and heroin addictions.

Then they had to move to a cheaper house as they couldn't keep up the repayments.

That's what can happen if it's handed to you on a plate.

I worked for my house. And my car (my mother paid for their one). And the best thing is, I only owe money by way of mortgage (oops - forgot the credit cards!!!!)

As has been mentioned, their kids are growing up with the knowledge that things come to you - no work required. I expect they will be in for a rude shock, and will have time to reflect, while waiting to sign on in years to come...
