STORYTIME
Grandparents have it in their will that their house is to be sold
No keeping it in the family
Two of mom's sibs are good with that, they want the money
Her and the rest of her sibs (two or three others) want the house to stay in the family
Mom is the one actually gunning for it
But debts
Solution: have me buy the house we live in to clear out their card debt and thus approved for that mortgage
Currently in the process of this part
If they don't get the house, parents will be house hunting. In the meantime, cuz neither will be dealing with card debt, they'll cover the mortgage payments on this house
On the off chance I decide to sell this house and move in with them, I'll be welcome, but smaller room. No thanks. Plus my nieces will likely live there by that point and, uh, no thanks

Can always rent a room if needed at that point

But yes. House. This one. To be mine
Which will be really fun after my parents die (especially if they never actually move out) cuz ny oldest sister will have a buyer lined up and that money spent, since she'll be expecting the house to go to her as the oldest. Nope, house deed in my name since [likely this year, depending on how long things take]. No sales
And yes, she will spend money she only anticipates on getting. Like when dad had his stroke and the er let him go despite all signs of one, he was recommended to sue. She expected a cut of that money and bought motorcycles for herself and her hubby. Dad never bothered. Money never showed. She ultimately had to sell the bikes ahahahaha

[npixelz]

Sounds like a hectic time

Also your avi reminds me of the Pokemon called Sylveon

[Kitalpha Hart]

It is, it is
But if my parents do move out I can decorate how I like, which means I can clear up space in my room for more bookshelves

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Sounds like a plan hatching!
Congratulations on SAVING enough money to be able to bail your parents out of their debt.

Sorry to hear about your Dad being misdiagnosed, hopefully he is doing well now??

I think there is an expression that goes something like "don't count your chickens before they hatch"... hopefully your Sister knows now. Wait until money is in hand before spending it.

That would be so cool for you to have your own place & ya, if you could rent a room that would help cover the mortgage or utility etc costs.

[Kitalpha Hart]

Ahahaha 100k mortgage

He is. He can tell when a storm's gonna hit tho

PFFT. No. She is well established to do such things all her life. You agree to a thing ONCE and she'll expect it again. Like back when I only had a summer Jon I dog-sat for a few days. Twice since she expected me to do it, once while said summer job was active, and again last year. I work full time on nights now, and she lived an hour away at the time. Yet somehow convienently her bil, who is at most 15 minutes away, can't be asked. She never learns. She never will

[npixelz]

He's got that storm sight super sense!

[Kitalpha Hart]

More like his entire right side twitches and less functional. He's had coworkers notice it happen

[galled]

100K is a lot of money. It blows my mind that people buy cars that cost more! I see them on the road every day (Tesla model S, etc.).

I twisted my knee years ago (motocross accident) and I swear I could tell when bad weather was coming as it would start hurting (just a dull pain). I think it was due to low atmospheric pressure that comes with storms...

I think you'll be fine once the house is in your name. Your sister will probably get half (I don't recall if you have other siblings) of what your P's new house nets after they both go. Just make sure they spell all of this out in their wills. I've seen it many times when it all becomes a gigantic mess when people don't spell out what they want to happen once they leave us--and the only winners are the lawyers. Avoidable problems!

[Kitalpha Hart]

Two sisters and a brother
So if we go with bio kids, mom's will be split three ways and dad's two

Mom got the confirmation. $1070/month, and with other expenses I'll have roughly $80/month not going towards bills, as long as they keep garbage and phone. Theirs would be $2750/month and I have no idea how the hell they'd swing that

[Kitalpha Hart]

Jfjgktcifhwbwofovubrjxosienfogkr $300/month allocated to groceries was listed and I missed that ahahahahahahahaha

[galled]

Perhaps you can extend your mortgage term (more years) to lower your monthly payments? You could probably refi down the road when interest rates go back down. But you'll have to save to pay the refi fees, so being able to save is important.
