Dear Pay Dirt: Our parents also have absolutely no plans or savings for old age.
I’m a first-generation American, but my parents come from a culture that prioritizes sons and expects daughters to care for their parents in old age. Throughout my childhood, my parents made it clear that my brother was preferred, and my brother bullied me and encouraged his friends to also. He currently lives near our parents and they provide child care when he has custody. He’s very interconnected with them, while I live an hour away and keep them all at arm’s length.
He also told me that our parents have absolutely no plans or savings for old age and that it is my job to take care of them, especially because I work a higher-paying job. Part of this might be his anger but I can also see it being true. How do I broach this conversation with my parents and make it clear they need to make some plans that aren’t relying on me? And how do I shake the guilt when these are people who have never treated me well?WOW, your family really has some balls.
