Curious how it works out ?

since my father in law passed away about 4 months ago my mother in law has lived with us.

she doesn't work (disabled due to cancer) she doesn't do alot around the house to help, doesn't pitch in to pay for anything. maybe once a week she will cook dinner.

I'd charge my own family and parents to live in my house so I'm not the best case to ask probably but I feel like if you are going to live under my roof you are going to help in one way or another.. but that's just me

Seriously though all my family lives in Michigan and it's nice to have them visit but we couldn't live together or someone would be murdered in their sleep.

My mother has lived with my wife and I for over 10 years. The only reason she does is money.

She has always spent more than my dad ever made. My dad passed in 1997 and it took about 3 years for her to sell a paid off house and blow through all the money.

I bought a second small house about 1 mile from where I live and had her and my sister living in it for about 5 years. My sister is also horrible with money, ever heard the term "ninja rich" ?? All they had to do was pay the utilites and they could have lived there till they die. Asking way too much ??? Just tired of my mom pissing away what little she gets every month from SS.



Anyway, this story goes longer than anybody cares about.

I have come to the point where I need to tell my mother she needs to go live somewhere else.


ALWAYS PLAN FOR YOUR RETIREMENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WILL BE HERE SOONER THEN YOU THINK !!!!!!!!!!!!

Words of wisdom right here.

My grandmother just put her husband (not my grandfather) in a nursing home. She has to spend half of her assets on his care before medicaid steps in. They are not wealthy, with about $65K in liquid assets and $40K in real property.

Even if you save for retirement, at a certain age you are going to have to spend a significant amount of money on a nursing home. It can easily be $3,000 a month or more. It takes quite a nest egg to throw off that kind of no risk cash.

I know this sounds crazy but I'm honestly thinking that if I get to that age, say 80 or 85 where it is about time to hang it up and hit the old folks home, that I'll just blow my brains out, or take a bunch of pills and OD to keep the money and pass it on. Or drive a car off a cliff, hell that sounds cool.

My mother in law has lived with me and the wife for three years. We get along fine she helps with the bills, cooks for us a few days a week, and stays out of me and the wifes business

winner winner chicken dinner.... its not horrible.. but not the way I would like things to be

an additional note... she still pays for her own house and bills each month. she just doesn't want to stay there over night...usually when we get up to go to work she gets up and goes to her house to "get things packed up" well we went by there the other day and it looks like she has worked on it about 2 days

a good part about it is that after we put the baby down at 7:30p we can leave if we want because her mom is there while the baby is sleeping..
