<prompt> Human: My mom recently divorced my father and received 200k in the settlement. She is currently living with my grandmother in Canada, and they do not get along, so she wants to leave as soon as possible. The condos in Toronto that are in a good location close to downtown AND relatively decent are worth around 450k-550k which we cant afford. I live in the US and dont have enough money to help. What should I do?  <response>: Maybe your mother should move to a cheaper part of Canada. Maybe she also shouldnt buy a house and thus lock up all this money, but instead rent. With only 200k of savings, she should try to find a place that costs less than 500month to live in. Also I wonder: would your mother have any rights to some kind or state pension state retirement social security after a specific age?
