I ante’d up for two lately.
They were 30 grand each, and not all that upscale, and in a low cost midwest locale.
Of course both sets of prospective in-laws were in “financial difficulty” and couldn’t help out.
But both SILs are class guys and I was happy to do it. And I believe they both learned from their poorly financial managing parents and are on a much better path.
And the grandkids seem like a hundred to one payback.

Wait till the great-grandkids arrive. Thousand to one.
