[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 637240, member: 15473"] The dog was her deceased husbands so she keeps it. She had two of the chairs to begin with but wanted an upgraded model. I can understand that, I mean she lives in the chair and the other two were either uncomfortable or not working properly. I just wish she had shopped around and or asked for assistance. husband and I would have at least help her get it cheaper and with a lower interest rate. I don't mind paying the bills and helping her out I guess I just get frustrated when she makes decisions without thinking about it. Right now she gets $1388 dollars a month in SSA her bills total $1304. Needless to say $84 wont feed her for the month. Thank goodness she gets $250 from the Army also. But now she is living off of $334 a month. Lord forbid she have any kind of issue. I don't ask her about it, I just let it go, because it is a mess we will clean up anyway. That's our roll in the family. When sister in law asked, she just said oh well I will just live off peanut butter and jelly. Long story short she can't afford to stay in her home, she is making unsafe decisions while living there, and she refuses to move. This means that husband and I will wind up footing the bill when something goes wrong. We always do. Way before I ever started handling the checkbook we made almost every large purchase in their home. I bought the bed she sleeps in! Now we are giving her living money as well. We had originally planned to save that money in case of an emergency at her house like a roof leak or something structural or a medical need. We would never let her suffer and we intend to make sure she is comfortable. I just hate putting money into that house or anything to go in it because it will be ruined by the dog. The house is worth 40K less than she owes already so it just a money pit at this point. A money pit swimming in dog piss. The nursing home she will eventually move into has three or four levels of care and is wonderful but they are adamant that things brought into the home are clean. Nothing in her house is going to pass their black light inspection. I just laughed thinking about the fact that she will probably have to move to the home before the chair is paid off and wont be able to take it with her. See I am muleheaded! LOL I love the woman to death and would do anything for her. We have never fought and never will but man oh man does she make me crazy with the finance stuff and that dog. In the end it doesn't matter because we will do whatever has to be done to keep her afloat. Well except carpeting that is where I will put my foot down. LMAO [/QUOTE]
