If you pay your retired parents' property taxes, can you take it as a deduction on your federal income taxes?

Can this only be done if you pay more than 50% of your parents' living expenses for the year?

The question I asked a few days ago did not have enough details, so I am going to add a couple of things...
I just wanted to know whether by having 100k in the bank (invested in savings accounts that generate around £4000 a year) at the age of 33 with no kids I can consider myself wealthy...

I am not trying to boast I am just genuinely curious...
Thx 4 yr opinion...

I am 21 years old and I invest in mutual funds and some stocks. I have about $2500 invested in my personal portfolio and I also invest 8-10% of my income to my 401K. I am going to school full-time during the morning and afternoon and then I work full-time at night. I do not make a very high income due to flexability etc. I hate my job but I'm just using it while I get through college. I have about $600 in debt on credit cards and I am slowly trying to pay them off. I do about $50 every pay check and I am trying to be as frugal as possible. I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on whether I should sell off some of my personal portfolio to pay off my credit cards or should I leave it and continue to earn dividends and interest. My original plan was to keep it in for long term gains. Any advice would be appriciated!

I'm looking to get married soon and I've been wondering if you inherit your husband/wife's debt after marriage. i.e I have really bad credit and my FH has excellent credit I have a car note, utility bills and stuff. If after getting married I default on my payments on debt I had before marriage will they go after him for payment? Does anyone know?

So here is the story, I made three deoosits into a US Bank ATM in cash. 2 on a Friday and one on a Monday. Tuesday morning I check my balance and have a positive balance. Around 1 I go back to internet banking and see that I have now received 2 overdraft charges. The funny thing is that I deposited enough money to cover transactions plus have $2.30 over. According to US Bank only $100 of my deposit could be credited and the other $25 was put on hold. Now I have 3 overdraft charges, and negative balance fees are added each day. It's christmas time and I unfortunatly don't have the extra $150 to bring my account back to positive nor do I think I should have to claw to get the money when they are the ones who screwed up. All the charges were paid, and the only thing owed is what was charged in overdraft fees. Right now it at about $150. What will happen to me if I just say Screw Them and not pay.

If you have a blocked bank account, will the direct deposit still work?

Since historic stock returns are greater than after-tax mortgage rates, why ever pay principal on a mortgage?

Perhaps risk-averse investors might want to pay off their mortgage. However, shouldn't young investors (who can tolerate some risk) avoid paying down principal on their mortgage?

Shouldn't young investors take an interest-only mortgage and put all their savings into the stock market?

If so, why does everyone seem to believe that building home equity is a good thing? Building home equity seems like a bad idea to me because paid off principal earns no return and also you lose some mortgage-interest tax deduction.

I bought 12.20 acres for 30,000. The payment was 284.78 per month. The interest is calculated at 7.240% per annum. on a 15 year mortgage. After 4 years I've paid nearly 14,484.. and still owe 27,000. Thank you all, math certainly isn't my thing.
