@mrs. wagon: I definitely think it is cultural. None of the aging family members in my family have moved in with their children....they all live in homes or have a nurse come live with them/take care of them.

My parents are super-savers (401k for each of them, Roths for each AND a bangin' pension & healthcare once they retire, with a paid-off house) and should be fine.
DH's parents should be fine as well...not sure about their financial specifics, exactly, but I highly doubt that 1. they will need help or 2. they would accept our help.

We want to help them someday but they are about 10 years from retiring.

We have considered buying a house with my mother so that we could both afford one of a decent size 3-4000sqft. Although that might all change due to inheritance...I'd rather not even think about that right now though, to fresh. The main goal is to get her moved closer to us so that we can keep and eye on her and help her maintain her home. She is only 62 but her physical health is more that of a 78 yr old. She is also partially deaf & her mind is failing, she is so scatter brained. As mom will be much more financially stable then us we will most likely take over managing the fiances & the farm. Not sure about the in-laws, they are very independent and would prob rather go into an assisted living when the time came.
