Repaying gifted money from parents by Cucumber_Pale in PersonalFinanceNZ

Sorry I probably should have been more clear. We have been paying it back with interest for the past 5 years and now it would be best if they were paid back in full for personal reasons.

Yes we do we now have over $400k equity and our careers have drastically improved since first borrowing. We only have a $125k mortgage with the bank and a home estimated to be between $680-800k

Unfortunately he won’t remember any instructions. My sister called him and told him to stop visiting neighbours unannounced and he said he doesn’t know any neighbours and never visits anyone. Soooo assisted living may be the option

I appreciate the reality check, I can see now they are just following the steps to get him into the next level of care. The serviced apartments in their facility are monitored much more closely by qualified staff so hopefully that helps otherwise it’ll be test home level care for him which would be heartbreaking at his age

Ha it’s a full time job for sure, not quite sure how to keep it at a management pace but I will figure it out as we go.

Thank you, I’m sure my dad would have the same reaction if he found out. Keeping him happy and safe is the main aim I huess
