Retired, I Sent Son 5000; Daughter-in-Law: 11800, About to Reply

My name is Garry Finch. I'm sixty-five this year, and my pension comes to $7,800 a month. But for the past three years, without fail, I've transferred $5,000 every month to my son's household to help with their expenses. My wife passed early. I know it isn't easy for young people to put down roots away from home, and the mortgage and car payments were crushing them. As their father, whatever I could do to help, I did.
