[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother in law is 65 with no plan for the future. She gets under $2k a month social security (it’s from her divorced ex husband, DH’s dad, that she gets this high amount) and I applied for her to live in a nice low income senior housing apartment.

She was a rough mom for my DH (alcoholic and not very involved) but she tries hard to be a good grandparent but she has a lot of issues and anxiety (will no longer drive even though she’s in good health because she’s anxious) so she relies on us a lot. She also refuses to work because she doesn’t want to be on her feet but we have offered to help her get a part time job. No interest at all.

What should WE be doing now? How much financially do we need to plan for her? We are couple early 40’s. [/quote]

She may not know it but she is extremely lucky to have you in the family. May God bless you to take over this project, many want to volunteer and do charity to look like good people but few help out where no social glory is involved.[/quote]
