I was going to include this link in a roundup, but it needs a whole post instead!
I try to ignore the whole 'Boomers' thing when I'm reading this (as if you can't find fiscally irresponsible people in every generation!). But it's certainly a terrifying thought, and over the next ten years, I suspect there will be a lot more people who find themselves in a situation like this one.
My favorite quote: "They wanted me to just start paying the mortgage" → holy entitlement, Batman!!! Especially given that it's a 4000-sq-ft McMansion for two people! Even if I were a multimillionaire, I still wouldn't buy a house like that, unless my spouse and I had at least 4 or 5 children. Expecting someone else to pay for that...whew, I don't even know what to say!
I do think the original poster handled things...shall we say, generously, based on his description in the post.
I have so many thoughts on this scenario! Just...wow, I can't even arrange my thoughts properly.
Guess I'll just leave this piece of advice here: read this whole thing, and then never do anything like this to your family members!
