I listened to a caller into Dave Ramsey - the woman’s in-laws do not have much with resources for retirement; FIL is in poor health - both in their early 80’s. They wanted to put some money into their son/DIL’s house to fix up the basement for them to live there. Big red flags and no up-side; all down-side. They wanted to come and work up some kind of ‘deal’ - their son will be calling them and saying it will not work out, and leave it at that. If they come to discuss, it will be harder to say ‘no’ to them. Ugh.
