I've been trying to get my almost 70 year old parents to downsize with no luck. They are sitting on a 2 million dollar vancouver home, 3500 sq feet, 7 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, two upstairs living rooms, two downstairs living rooms. Move to a transit dependant community so they can get rid of their car and be more active and healthy, yet they don't want to. 
I pay them 1K a month to supplement their income. Still, my dad buys useless trinkets from Home Depot. I'm at my wits end.
