<prompt> Human: Im 33, have my house fully paid off by wise choices I think . I live with my girlfriend, and have 2 rooms rented in my current house. While the income from the rooms isnt needed to pay my bills, extra money is always nice. My income after taxes, 401k, etc is 12002 wks not including renters, 300renter Yes, I know its cheap, Im trying to help these guys get their finances together so they can save enough to move out. Average monthly expenses are 1500 including gas, utilities, food, everything.The problem is my mother I bet thats said a lot. She isnt happy in her second marriage, wants a divorce, but cant afford the house shes been in for the last 30 years refinancing is why its not paid off, and Ill be honest, shes always had a spending problem.She wants me to sell mine, payoff hers and move in. I dont make enough currently to handle a refi on her house, and afford to continue living at my house, which would be at least 1100month.Ive debated telling her to rent out rooms at her house to take care of the difference between what I can afford and her mortgage. I think thats the best solution, but shes not very accepting of that idea.is there something I havent thought of that could resolve the issue?  <response>: Heres the short sweet: your mom lives above her means, doesnt want to cut back on her lifestyle, so she wants you to foot the bill for it. Filial responsibility aside, its one of the most selfish things someone can do - demand that someone else sacrifice so that they can have more for themselves. You said shes got a spending problem. It wont get better if you buy her a house. Itll get worse.
