[quote=Anonymous]Offer to help them by: 
-Organizing the sale of their house, which they can not afford
-Going with them to sign up social security
-Sending them a list of the nearest senior housing options. Yes, $40-50K is within the income cutoff for a number of places.

Most states have a consolidated online portal where you put your info in and they tell you which benefits you're eligible for. It's simple and takes less than 20 minutes to screen yourself. Your husband should sit down with his mom and go through this.

Help them navigate the system and find housing they can afford. Don't foot the bill for a lifestyle they can't afford. When your MIL is no longer able to work, you may need to look into subsidizing them, but that seems unnecessary at this point. Two people can live off $40-50K. Your FIL can make another $25K in a non-sales job if he accepts that the time has come to say goodbye to sales. $65-75 HHI for two adults without children, student loans, etc should be comfortable enough.
