I think the reactions in here are because the OP and his wife really were less than graceful about the subject.

I mean, who really goes into someone else's house and goes (even lightly) into finances with people you're not really close to like that. I was always taught that finances are one of those things you don't talk about in polite company.

But generational wealth is a real thing. The couple is clearly benefitting from it, but what's wrong with that?
