| Sep 27, 2019 at 21:40 | comment | added | Voo | @glgl Those "very special circumstances" basically boil down to "earns more than about 2000€ a month after tax", a far cry from those 100k. And you misunderstand the other part: The family income is used to compute how much you have to pay, that includes the spousal income. The part you're quoting just means if you're not directly related you don't have to use up your savings. | |
| Sep 27, 2019 at 13:14 | comment | added | glglgl | @MartinBonner "Die Schwiegerkinder können nicht unterhaltspflichtig werden." (The children in law cannot be required to do these payments). I understand it this way: If my wife's income added to mine is enough to bring us over the threshold, I (and only I) have to pay my parents (say, for example) 2000 € a month. These 2000 € are missing from our household, so my wife has to contribute them if needed. (Or something like that.) | |
| Sep 27, 2019 at 11:29 | comment | added | Martin Bonner supports Monica | @glglgl I read that as their income is used, but their savings are not. | |
| Sep 27, 2019 at 11:09 | comment | added | glglgl | @MartinBonner According to wohnen-im-alter.de/geld-recht/pflegefinanzierung/…, their income is considered in this calculation, but is not used. | |
| Sep 27, 2019 at 10:28 | comment | added | Martin Bonner supports Monica | @glglgl What about if the child's spouse earns >100k€? | |
| Sep 27, 2019 at 9:25 | comment | added | glglgl | @MartinBonner But only under very special circumstances, e. g. the child earning more than X €, where X lies in the region of about 100000. But OTOH, this obligation counts even if parent and child have cut connections to each other for decades. | |

| Sep 26, 2019 at 15:04 | comment | added | psaxton | Great answer. -- "Don't overlook what she is doing" sets this answer apart from the rest. Consider moving it to the top of your response. Another +1 for pointing out "giving people money is not kindness". | |
| Sep 26, 2019 at 14:14 | comment | added | Martin Bonner supports Monica | @Philipp I know Germany is like that. | |
| Sep 26, 2019 at 13:45 | comment | added | Philipp | Regarding children never being obligated to pay for their parents: That's not universally the case. There are jurisdictions where children might have to pay for their parents, especially when they need permanent elderly care. | |
| Sep 26, 2019 at 12:16 | comment | added | JMac | "The old quote "Give a man a fish and he will not be hungry for a day." was too polite to mention that tomorrow you'll have a hungry man demanding another fish!" ... typically there is a second line to that quote which addresses your concern. | |
| Sep 26, 2019 at 5:57 | comment | added | Mars | Can you move the hint part higher? I was so confused reading the paragraphs above it... | |
| Sep 26, 2019 at 2:10 | comment | added | corsiKa | I learned it as "Give a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day. Light him on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life." but you know, cultural differences and all. | |
| Sep 25, 2019 at 23:26 | comment | added | RonJohn | While I upvoted your answer, where in the world did you get the idea that Jesus said that??? | |
| Sep 25, 2019 at 23:17 | comment | added | Harper - Reinstate Monica | @vaxquis good point, and I just approved an edit to that effect. | |
