[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You could pay off their debts but there seems to be little point in it if they are not actually willing to work afterwards.[/quote]

So they can survive? That would be the point. [/quote]

If none of these FIVE ADULTS are willing to have any job at all, they will just run up more debt and want OP to pay it.

OP, at least have them downsize to a one-bedroom apartment.  Sorry but three bedrooms is not affordable for them and they should have realized it a lot earlier.[/quote]

Op here. They’re rent right now is 3k a month in dollars. I make 63k here in the US and cannot pay their rent. They’ve accumulated about 30k in back rent over the past year and cannot vacate until they have paid it off. Whatever money I send goes into paying down the debt in addition to food for them. [b]My mom never graduated college so she cannot work.[/b] My dad got laid off and cannot find work and he’s trying. My one sister finally got an internship that pays and will probably chip in some and my other sister also works and pays most of her salary towards their rent. But none of us collectively make enough yo pay off the passive loans and debt. [/quote]

Sorry, no.  People who did not graduate college can work.  It sounds like your mom cannot find a job she is willing to do, but that's different.  There's no right to be a stay-at-home mom of adults and demand that your children pay your expenses.

It sounds like you need to move yourself into a really really cheap studio apartment and take a second job and basically give up everything until the debt is paid.  If you and your sister can come up with $1500 a month, you could have it paid off in a few years.  [/quote]
