We found y'all through our church through SPU about a year and a half ago, and we are on

Baby Step 4.

And my in-laws kind of popped this idea to us about six months ago.

We bought our house about two years ago and it has a very large unfinished basement.

And they have had this idea that when they retire, which is going to be my father and

else retiring at the end of the year, that they want to kind of put some money into our house and finish off our basement

for them to kind of be snowbirds to be here, go in the south and then go up north and then

eventually kind of transition to living with us in our basement.

And I'm not totally against the idea because we have a good relationship.

It would be great for our kids to have grandparents close by.

But I'm a little bit concerned about the long-term effect of this.

You know, they wouldn't really have an R-A, putting money into our house.

Do they know that? Yes, we told

that that. And my concern is just, you know, like what happens if they do this? And, you know,

in five years from now, someone has a stroke. And now they need more care. And a lot of their money

is tied up in our house.

Or you decide to move and take a different job.

And my husband said that to them.

And they kind of were like, oh, well, I guess you just me and that two more people are moving with you.

Oh, boy.
