If you lent her the money, then she can sign the car back to you in repayment of the loan, then you put it in your name, and let her use it.
Doing anything is better than just being upset by how bad things are.
we don’t have the funds as seniors to take the car back and put ins on it. We like a lot of Americans are living check to check. Lending her the money took half what I had saved from my SS check by doing what I’ve always done when money is tight scrimp and do with out. They have not learned that lesson yet.
She can cash out the 401K and pay the rent for 2 weeks because after taxes that is about all she’d have left of it.
It’s come down to they have habits to give up cigs for one and cable for another, neither is necessary and that would help pay at least the rent.
What little savings I have has to last me for the rest of my life if something happens to my husband, as I do not qualify for any of his benefits as we have only been married 5 years. We were both widowers and he had things set up as a single man who never expected to remarry in his late 60’s, and most have to stay that way especially his Navy pension.
