Say your spouse's family contributed a significant portion of the down payment on a house, since neither you nor your spouse had enough in savings. The spouse's family insists they help you two out and do not expect you to pay them back.

Why,not take the money. This is a great investment for both of you,and if family is willing and can financially help,why not. In,the future you could always refinance your home and pay them back if you like. Just look at the whole picture. What is family for but to help out each other! You are very blessed to have such a wonderful family. Just remember to love one another....Good Luck @ Congratulations!!!!

I wouldn't. I would not want to have them hold that above your heads for the rest of your life. My parents could afford to help me pay for school, when I broke down and let them pay for ONE class I never heard the last of "we helped you so much.." Never again will I let someone help me or my husband with anything money wise.

Only if it is loan and there is an expected deadline to pay it back by or else its charity. You have to learn to live within your means....
