My sister and I are both helping support our mother financially, but we haven't been honest about how much we're each contributing or how sustainable it is for our own retirement plans. We're both afraid that if we talk about limits, the other person will have to carry more of the burden, so we just keep quietly stretching our budgets.
More people experience this than they realize.
Fear of burdening each other prevents honest conversation about sustainable limits, potentially jeopardizing multiple people's financial security.
