[quote=Anonymous]My mom is already extremely dependent on my sister, IMO, for similar reasons to PP (extremely cheap).  IMO mom is tired and wants someone to figure things out for her, but in some ways she is fiercely independent.

To the PPs who commented on what is the plan for aides, or sister going out of town, or whatever, there are no plans, which is part of what troubles me about buying this house that I think is overpriced. It seems like one thing to figure out how to pay for things given the status quo, but quite another to figure things out later AFTER over paying for a house and putting an additional $100K to get said house.  Mom has never been a planner, her MO is spend as little as possible and then when you absolutely have to spend money you'll have enough.  Its mostly worked for her, but its hardly a plan. I think she kind of just wants a newer house and also doesn't want to think about the messy part of getting older (who does).  I'd feel better if there was a plan but as someone else pointed out this isn't my decision at all.    [/quote]
