[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 103516, member: 2211"] DDD, she is only receiving SS and she gets subsidized housing from the state of PA, specifically earmarked for the elderly. Her monthly income is about $1100 and that is it. That is supposed to cover her rent, her food, electric, medication rx co-pay, and miscellaneous expenses. She receives Medicare for her health care but as we all know, that's not entirely free. She really has minimal monthly expenses and back when she owned her car and had insurance and a monthly car payment, my siblings and I would all send her a fixed amount to cover the cost of her car/ins. Then we had to take away her car because she side swiped a telephone pole and left the scene - she couldn't figure out why her door would not open. She backtracked and discovered the busted pole and the police who were speaking with witnesses! Thank God my brother in law was passing by and stopped. He talked the police out of ticketing her and that was that. Anyway, the $1100/month doesn't sound like much (I certainly could not live on that) but she seems to be doing fine. We all buy most all of her clothes, etc., and my sister who lives near her buys her groceries at least once a month. Right now it's just a mess we're trying to figure out. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
