If your parents are from 2 different south asian countries, are you considered a mix?
No you're South Asian. You just have two different nationality from South Asia. For example let's say a white german girl marries a white english man the child is therefore the child is white but has two nationality. However if I go marry a white guy then yes the child would be mixed race.
What is the lifetime of an apartment in India? After 20yrs when I finish my house-loan, will it be strong?
All constructions are executed according to IS Codes and any RCC building is strong enough for at least 75 years to 100 years. Regarding the pricing or value after 20 years you don't need to worry. I am in the field for the past 25 years and consistently the appreciation ranges from minimum of 8 times to a maximum of 20 times in 20 years span depending on the various factors. A flat purchased for Rs.3 lakhs by my client in 1991 sold in 2008 for Rs.30 lakhs. you can proceed with the purchase if you have an idea. Good Luck.
Should parents charge their adult children rent?
Due to horrific circumstances, I moved in with my dad the day I turned 22 - bringing my 20mth old daughter with me. 11 yrs later, we are still all together.The first month, I paid nothing except groceries.We were starting from scratch and had to replace all of our things we had to leave behind when I fled to live with dad. By the end of that first month, all I really had to get was a bed for me to have finished replacing the essentials. I knew the bed would be expensive, so I was prepared to wait.After that first month, I started paying half the rent, at my insistence. The month after that I started putting a bit toward bills. We'd been there for 3 months when I got my bed. Dad took me to pick it out and bought it for me as a gift because I was, in his words, too stubborn for my own good.After that, I insisted on paying half of everything. And have been ever since. I am an adult, with an income, and a child. Just because my dad was OK with looking after me, it didn't mean it was OK.My younger brothers are still fully supported by dad and their mum, because they are both in university. My daughter, now 13, sees how things work financially in our family, and understands and appreciates it.If I need financial assistance for any reason, dad is there. I pay him back, even though he says it's a gift.I pay him back because it's the right thing to do, and because eventually, we won't be living together.I've been paying my way since I was 14, I can't be any other way. But even if my dad didn't want me to pay towards costs of living, I still would, because I live in the house, I use power, gas, water, and internet. I am not a child, and I am not a parasite. Living with dad has taught me financial responsibility and conservation concepts: power is expensive.So yes, parents should charge their adult children rent or board, if circumstances allow or require it.
