yah, I know ... success rate (if determined by staying together and not divorce) is about the same in arranged marriages vs. Western dating method leading to marriage.
I think the Harmony, Plenty of Fish, whatever dating app experiment has shown that it is no better than the wisdom of 2 sets of parents.

The Indian arranged marriages the wife is basically a slave
Saw this a lot while working at Telus, it’s akin to what you see in like the sopranos etc. the husband is off doing god knows what and the wife runs ever aspect of the house, bills, maintenance, family affairs etc. lol it’s pretty painful.

If you are willing to do arranged marriage, having parents, uncles, aunts live with you is part of the package. | Modern arranged marriage is more like arranged dating. Your parents set you up with people to meet, but if there's no interest, you're not obligated to continue the relationship. But it really all depends on the families and how traditional they are(n't).
Most everything in India is grounded in religion, so even if you are a 1st generation in Canada born in Canada, if you grew up in a religious household and chose to continue to follow the religion as you grow up, then theres a higher chance arranged marriage is something you'd be more open to.
First generation Sikhs for example who follow the traditions of turbans etc, a lot of those kids are still going with arranged marriages.

I’m saying me, going into homes, seeing what I presumed to be an arranged marriage between older Indian families. Albeit arranged or not the attitude is likely the same with the older generations.

is divorce between those traditional arranged marriages common, or being common?
i imagine living in the west it may be a more common occurrence due to rights, women around them here in their ear, etc.

Back in the day, lotta young Brown guys went around with non-brown girls aka white chicks. I don't think any of them stayed together right? I mean they were just all fooling around waiting for their parents to pick their bride?
Gotta hand it to them though, in 50 years there will still be a definable "Brown" community, whereas East Asians here will all be Hapas, mullattos or whatever we call them now...basically whites.

When I was in India, I rarely ever saw any women walking around on the streets. It was almost always 95% men with one or two old aunties in saris. I could be wrong but "organic" dating doesn't seem to be very big there.

Part of Indian 'contractual obligations' are keeping wealth in the family. Better to arrange with another rich family and keep your little empire growing, whether the bride and groom enjoy each other or not.
Im guessing with enough family pressure, they'll be forced to enjoy or will be distracted enough by a household of 21 people to even remember they have a spouse.
Then they'll have kids who will just scream relentlessly for some reason while they do nothing cuz they'll be too busy talking to their 7th cousin on speakerphone at max volume, despite holding the phone almost to their ear.

Family friend married 2nd time and sent mother in law at old age home (it was agreed as she was almost blind); he thought, man, your mom is in her mid 80s.. she might be there for 2-3 yrs. Well she outlived the daughter (cancer) and didn't pass away until early 90s. That's a sold 8-10 yrs of 2-3000 a month (back 20 yrs ago) of old age home fees.
SOmetimes it's just good to hold on to their money. There is a chinese saying "Even your blood born son won't be as valuable as your cash onhand).
Good luck asking your son if you can move in and having them take care of you without cash.
GOod luck getting someone to wipe your butt when you have dementia.
I tell my parent, do not give me anything or my brother. I made a bond with wife that we will have parents move in with us anytime but regardless.. dont' give us money, your presence / dim sum / dinner with us is all we need. | This 100%.
My mother is in an old folk's home and doesn't have a pot to piss in to leave behind, my father does have some money saved he plans to leave for me (around $200K, give or take), but he's 72.
I could never imagine asking him for any of that early. He has no other family here in Canada, so if something happened to him health wise, he'd need that money. It would be unfair to expect such an ask from a parent who at the same time might need that nest egg for themselves.

If my parents were gen x, they'd have like zero assets while renting a shitty apartment in Edmonds, but since they're boomers, they lucked out and had it fine but not great.
For their age, they are pretty springy so I don't see old folks home in their future but I do see them dying of boredom
My dad was telling me about all his home expenses in the last couple of years and im like ooof. The house is still a future teardown regardless

So my parents are convinced that when they pass on the family home to me that I'll have to pay capital gains taxes on their original purchase price from like 1989. So mucho bigly tax bill headed my way because it won't be my primary residence. So they're being convinced by their Investment Advisor to purchase "insurance" to cover this unexpected cost.
This sounds kinda fishy, nothing I've read indicates this and it makes sense to me that the average cost base is calculated upon transference at death when I decide to sell. Anyone have experience with this and can confirm?? I've asked them to speak to a lawyer and not just take a salesman at the bank at face value.

If it’s your parents principal residence there won’t be taxes payable for them. It is considered a deem disposition when they pass the property down to you. The fair market value of the property will be your cost basis if you consider selling it after.

Fair market value at time of disposition right? Not at time of original purchase (1989).
Yeah I dunno the right terminology, "insurance" is in quotes, its more like a savings account to pay off future taxes.

Why don’t they just sell it and then go rent a place and give you cash.
That’s what I’m going to get my parents to do. Before they kick the bucket. Sell the place. Then hand me the cash and go rent (in a care home )

Yep, your parent's sale price would be your cost.
Parents POV: $2.2M sale price – $200k cost = $2.0M non-taxable gain on principal residence.
Your POV: $Future Value – $2.2M cost = $??? unknown future taxable gain on sale/gain on disposal
You won't incur any taxes until you sell. Don't need a seperate savings since the future proceeds from the sale can be used for the future tax liability.

There's no taxes to pay at the time the house switches over to you other than probate and I believe you either have a year or till end of year before you'd be on the hook for any cap gains that occur after that IF it's not your principal residence.
