Ah I see, well she has two sons and her family are pretty close so I imagine they will be on hand for her. I'd still help out a bit but the bulk of the responsibility is with them.
Hopefully neither get to a stage where they are unable to function at all without help. It's a sad time in many ways but such is life. We all live, we all die.
Then you're taking on a good debt.
I don’t look at it in that way, sure I could go all Mises on the situation and see my dad as a purely economic unit. I choose to see it differently though, it’s family.
I think that sounds really nice, but at some point someone has to actually fork over money or perform some work. Family is a real, concrete institution with real, concrete obligations. Family is not something described on a Hallmark card.
