Husband and wife ask husband’s parents to invest in their business, parents only agree to give the money to their son, wife cuts contact: ‘We had no idea what we were walking into’
Even if you have a great relationship with your in-laws, you should never willingly agree to a situation in which you owe them something.

When you become a parent, the most important thing in the entire world should be your child, and only your child.

If there is one thing people love wasting money on, it’s expensive cars. I come from a town where people would buy $70K vehicles for themselves but wouldn’t pay for their kid’s college education.
