Wanted to see how many folks here are responsible for not only your family but for your parents as well. My wife and I are both immigrants from poor families that just worked blue collar jobs to put a roof over our heads. We’re keeping a roof over 2 sets of parents. Luckily we make money but we definitely don’t feel rich even clearing north of $200k.

Move them in together? 😂

Yup many others in that position. Here you will hear disdain but these parents made sacrifices to make sure their children’s lives are upleveled so can’t ignore them

I’m saying if I made the struggle and the many sacrifices that some of these parents make, I would also hope that they would give something back, within reason.

Still up to the kids obviously. No one can decide for them

I’m assuming when the parents pass away, you will inherit their homes, since you’re paying the mortgage? So really you’re building assets through them. A sort of forced financial discipline if you will. Most non-immigrant parents will also not hesitate to use reverse annuities instead of trying to leave the family for kids. So it all balances out I think. There is nothing wrong with either approach.

During the VMAs last night there was a car commercial and all I have to say is that if your brand is picking a 5 year old Sia song that didn’t even chart too well as a song for a NEW commercial, you need to tap into culture a little bit.

I’m begging for a world where we stop using songs like this and Roar by Katy Perry as the standard backing tracks for boring ads.

I'm trying to suss out if a new member of our dept hates me or my team (she manages a different team).

My initial take is she's just hard to read and probably a tightly controlled introvert. My direct report felt she's 'cold as ice,' 'bristling' at our suggestions, and forming a clique that wants to do their own thing with no input from our team. He's triggered very easily, and there was no explicit evidence, just a 'vibe' so I wrote it off. (See 1st comment)
