My parents have made terrible financial decisions in the past and have lost everything. They have fallen for scams and lost tens of thousands of dollars. Now, they are homeless and begging me for money. I have about $100,000 saved up to buy a house, but they want a piece of the pie.

What should I do? Read on to find out.
