My wonderful mother in law is now residing with us permanently. She is in pretty good health and is ambulatory.
She is here because we want to help her to have the best possible living situation.
I am certain all will work out just fine and I get along very well with her. But I have a question.
She knows that our living expenses will increase with her living with us. Especially with her oxygen machine running 24-7.
My question is how much should I ask her to contribute monthly? She is selling her house and gets a SS check every month. She also has money in the bank.
I am also on a fixed income, so the addition of another person in the household will financially burden us.
What would you do and how would you do it.
I love my MIL and I am struggling with this situation.
TIA............John
