D works at a job she loves, but the pay is modest. She is on our cell plan and was on our health insurance (very low cost to us) until recently. She now uses her company’s plan so she can cover SIL. They are both pretty frugal, and she contributes to her 401K but they live in NYC. We like to help them out. When D and I go shopping, I almost buy her something. If we go for something to eat or get our nails done, I pick up the tab. When she needed snow boots last winter, I bought them.
I am happy to help them out. My parents did the same for us.
