So...the details:
My in-laws are great people, they support my wife & I very well (physically being there, and emotionally for her). They recently both are in the process of losing their jobs, unfortunately. My wife has already thrown out the idea of supporting them financially (this is after recent arguments about our finances within our house - we have no budget, and have been slowly eating up our savings/retirement money over the last few months from everything from extra medical care to frivolous spending). Her parents also spend money on a lot of hobbies, lot's of extra stuff for their house, and literally have a garage full of stuff, and 4-5 outdoor storage sheds full of stuff as well - a lot of which could help if we sold some of it on eBay). I don't have a big problem with giving them money (to help them survive), but I'd like it to fix some problems instead of just going to more "stuff" in their house (Disney tapes, collections, Pro sports collectibles, etc
