Your in-laws are essentially running a black market for used video games and your partner is the unwitting middleman. It's time to stage an intervention, but first let them finish their bingo night.
A recent reader wrote in about the suspicious behavior of their in-laws, who have been "generously" giving money to their children while also making it clear that no one should talk about it. Sounds like a recipe for a soap opera. The reader is understandably concerned that this arrangement could be some sort of estate planning scheme gone wrong.
According to an expert, the in-laws' actions are essentially sheltering their assets - or as we like to call it, "Grandma's secret stash." But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom. If you can just figure out how to get your hands on that deed to their house, you'll be swimming in cash...and also probably stuck with a bunch of unwanted furniture.
The reader is worried about the financial implications of this situation, but let's be real - the real concern here is who gets to control Grandma's video game collection after she passes away. Will it be the kids, or will it be the grandkids? Only time (and possibly a heated family meeting) will tell.
