My DH and/or his brother do not give or help out financially. My FIL has business ventures, rental property and other property which brings my FIL/MIL enough to live a life of ease and comfort. They receive medicare in the US, and can also afford top notch medical care in Pakistan.

I have a very good friend whose husband sends his parents a certain amount of $US per month to his parents who live in Canada.It is a large amount. The thing is that he is the younger brother. My friends husband sends $$ amount also to his older brother in Canada, and is also paying for his nieces college education in Canada. My friends husband, lets call him Mr. A, is in a very senior position in a very well known global company.
Mr. A’s father wanted to invest in business ventures oversees, and Mr. A sent his father what was needed in the thousands. The venture did not work out. All the money was lost. Who lost in the end? Mr. A did, not his father nor anyone else. So when his family , esp parents need money, he sends without hesitation. As some of the other family members are not doing well financially, he cannot say ‘no’ when his parents also request money for his siblings/nieces and nephews.

Mr. A’s children will be attending college in 2 more years one after another. My friend tells me that they do not have enough to pay for college as they are sending so much to other family members. Her house was purchased in cash , as well as cars etc.

How fair or unfair is this situation? Everyone wants to take advantage of someone, and it usually is your own family members.

Mr. A is loaded thats for sure! no money for college? lol Mr A is dumb dumb.
