Is caring for elderly parents eating up your retirement funds?
How many of you found yourself having to care for elderly parents which ate up your retirement funds and left you in serious financial trouble?
My sibs managed to do nothing for my mother except trick her into signing her investments over to them the week after my dad died, while she was signing other papers.
I am disabled and ended up caring for her and paying her bills. Although my parents made me their sole heir, (both my sibs are wealthy), I also ended up paying funeral expenses because they drained the estate before mom even died.
Every lawyer I talked to wanted a $30,000 retainer before they would go to court over misappropriation of funds, so they got away with it. (I live in Canada)
At the end of August I will probably be living on the street. I am down to $2000 and no income, aged 55, partially disabled and unable to work because of a chronic pain condition, and upper body disability, Hoping to qualify for subsidized housing, theres a waiting list for it though

I pay my dad’s utility bills, and I barely make enough. Well, at least I’m able to help him survive. He helped me when I was little so I have to pay him back.

I feel sorry for you. You will be blessed abundantly for your unselfish ways in caring for your parents. Will keep you in prayer.
I believe that it is every child’s responsibility to care for their aged parents. Unfortunately, you dont see that often. I advocate for this. Our parents hv brought us up and provide us with everything they possibly could afford. How else to show our appreciation but to care for them and provide for their needs when they are old.
I hv cared for my terminal ill mother for over 10 years now, solely paying for her medical bills without any complaints. Now my sibblings hv started to take over the responsibilities and they are feeling the hang of it. I didnt keep any records of how much i hv used my savings for her. I hv never wished that she dies earlier to ease me the burden of caring for her. It has never been a burden so to speak. Just wish that she is happy in finding meaning in life and know that we love and care for her.
