    Probably not but your reward will be knowing that those kids were able to count on you while they were growing up.

    The kids will keep you poor, but you're doing a great thing. We are raising one grandchild, but not in the US.

    I would think it will be very difficult to become comfortable considering your circumstances.


    But you are doing a far better thing than getting rich.


    Good on you & your wife for looking after the kids.

    I have great news for you...your already rich surrounded by love. Lucky grandchildren that you have taken them into your heart.

    Craigers,  I write on this site quite often. I would like to tell you how happy I am to be in this group of very wise people. I certainly can't top their answers.


    I hope you'll come back often and contribute your thoughts, questions, and answers. 


    Be well.

    Kids cost big bucks. Your reward may not be financial but the"Big Guy" is checking you out . Need I say more.

    You and your wife are doing so very much good for being there for those kids. Kids are also a good thing in your life...I thank God everyday for having mine in my life. Just last night I looked at several photo albums my wife and daughter put together...and they brought a smile and tears to my face all at the same time. Enjoy the gift of them being in your life, for time moves faster than we often realize.
