<prompt> Human: My mom works for lowes making 13.75 an hour. She is on and off of employment and I have dished out over 8k in the last year and half for all of her living needs. She is 57 and Is on a walker with very poor mobility. Shes been to the doctor several times and she is not receiving short term disability and didnt qualify for long term. She makes too much money for food stamps even though she isnt receiving a check. She has put herself into a large debt with medical bills overdrafts and what have you. I make enough money to support her but cant continue doing it for the rest of her life. Any help would be appreciated on how to tackle thisAssistant: How much money do you make right now? How old are you? Do you see yourself supporting your mother for the rest of her life? If yes, can you do anything to increase your own income?8K is a lot of money for a year and a half, but exactly what are they going towards? Is it something like rent that you would be able to help provide for cheaper if she moved in with you?Youll need to provide some more info for people to better understand your situation Human: I make 60k she lives in a different town. Id prefer not to live with my mom and she already lives in an income based apartment. I love my mom dont get me wrong but Im 25 and shes not old enough to not be able to work I need to figure out how to get her an income and not rely on mine  <response>: Or you could have the talk with her. She knows you cant afford it. Its time for her to use her own resources, network, and friends.
