How can my husband and I talk to my in-laws about plans after their death? They are in severe debt. They live off my FIL's military pension and social security. They are in a house that, against our advice, they recent bought but will eventually become too disabled to live in (perhaps soon). I don't know what my MIL will do financially after my FIL's debt. My FIL asks why we want to talk about him dying. He also says that he doesn't want a funeral, so planning is not an issue. I worry that I will have to divert our limited financial resources away from our children to care for her. We have no idea how my husband's mom will live when my FIL dies. And what if they both become disabled? Does you show plan to offer advice for family members? P.S. Can you tell that this stresses me out?
Lisette, We do our best to include text with all the segments on our shows. It's easier on the stories and commentaries because we have scripts from the reporters and commentators which we can post. The Q&A segments require one of our website staffers to transcribe them, which currently is beyond our resources. Having the text is beneficial to us as well. If we have the opportunity to add text, we will. --Richard Core, Marketplace website editor
