Life is a roller coaster ride

Ray, you and your wife are good people for helping them out. Family is family, and genuine difficulties such as raised rent are hitting a lot of young people. It will likely be a difficult transition for the four of you, but hopefully they will be able to save up a nest egg/down payment, and help you out with home projects and such things that require a bit more youthful strength/enthusiasm that was previously available.

...and if it proves more difficult than previously though, come here and lay down some rants!

Depending on how one reads this, it sounds like you're about to be a grandfather. lol

Anything is possible.

Thank you all for listening and for the words of encouragement. I don't have a lot of real friends in my life other than my wonderful wife and sometimes it just helps to tell someone other than her what's on my mind and know I get sympathy somewhere.

Sounds like you don't have to cook, clean, mow the yard, change the oil, etc for a while. Enjoy your days off!
