Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
OP--sorry you are experiencing this.
Since your parents did not ask for help, and you pushed for the information, you may still not have a full picture of their financials.
They are definitely living beyond their means, and I don't see it stopping anytime soon, unfortunately, until banks stop allowing further credit, or sources of income dry up, most likely via death of one or the other.
Are there other siblings who are concerned or would help in any kind of intervention?
Otherwise, I think its one of those situations where you have to sit back and sadly watch things fall apart, until they ask for help.
Unless you have the finances and desire to assist them for the rest of their lives.
Very difficult situation, that is for sure.
