Didn't realise Staff Sergeant was still a rank in the Royal Airfix Modellers.
Is this ethical.

For the record @Pat servicemen like the OP's SSgt RE pay rent for their Married Quarter (NOT "living rent free"). Free accommodation is is the exception (eg on deployment, based too far from family home (aka beanstealers)): not part of a serviceperson's remuneration package.
MQ rent (or single person acc'n per diem) will be deducted from pay monthly.
As for this situation (per OP) I would keep well out of my daughter and son-in-law's chat/decision process. At SiL's stage of career well worth putting down roots, if where currently based is where they want to live / 'have a family home' in the medium term.
Yes he was a Sergeant then did an Artificers course which bumped him to Staff Sergeant.
Daughter and SiL do own a house in Malton North Yorkshire which they rented out when they went on a 2 year posting to Brunei. Since then they have done a year in Lynham Wiltshire and now in Leuchars Scotland. Their tenants are wanting to buy the house and hopefully in will be sorted soon.
So they will have some money hence the Tongue in Cheek thread I started.
However daughter dearest would like us tto sell our house club together to buy a nice farm where we can live in a shed.🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ethics of the mother inherited by the daughter out seems.
Your wife is unethical in wanting her daughter fund your holiday home.
Your daughter is unethical in wanting you both to help fund their bigger holiday home with the understanding she can lock you away in the shed. Inherited and developed on in the ethics front. I bet you're proud! 🤣
Seriously, my partner wants a bigger house than we can afford. Her idea is to move her elderly relatives I with us in this bigger house in a granny annex. Basically, sell their house, use the money then charge them rent out of whatever is left of their pensions. She has this idea that multi generational households are a good idea. Shr even thinks that my parents should come in on it too!
Another of her ideas is that people shouldn't have their own kitchens. The neighborhood should combine to provide communal kitchen facilities so everyone gets the benefits of scale with food she thinks that would be a lot more cost efficient and energy efficient. Plus v good for the community.
I can see her point. We bulk cook and freezer it. The more we cook the cheaper the unit cost. Scale that to 100 households and you'll all save a lot more. Plus you share in the work of cooking and cleaning up.
Anyway, I've digressed a little.
On the topic of buying overseas. My aunt and uncle did that many decades ago in France. With Brexit they got residency. My aunt has learnt the language very well but she can't lose the English accent with it. My uncle is not so good but he has had to have loads of lessons to meet some language need. Plus it was hard work moving out there what with issues with buying overseas without the language back then. She says that she'd not do it again but she is there and settled so loves it.
