That was my thought too. Though what I really worry about is opening the door to owning for another adult who you have no control over. If we might be responsible for caring and bills for that what stops them from allowing credit card comnpanies from requesting the same deal? I don’t know about you but once my Father died in 1999 my Mother went crazy and got herself into so much debt that she lost the house etc a few years back. I’d hate to think about what she probably owes! Thankfully she is only 19 years older than me so by the time she needs that kind of care we hopefully will be retired too without an income to take.
Au contraire!
Having a mother who is a mere 19 years older than you is a drawback! That namely means that she'll be most in need when you are in your peak earning years (and according to the gov't are most able to support her.)
And don't you think for a moment that being "retired" will protect you from the government's avaricious claws! Unless you are totally indigent yourself, the government will squeeze you like a lemon!
