A few years ago, my mom and dad ( both nurses ) were in a tough spot financially. Living off of a small pension and an even smaller Social Security Check, they were having trouble keeping up with their bills.
They were still paying off their mortgage and a home equity loan they had taken out for some much - needed repairs. Faced with expensive trips to the doctor, a half dozen prescriptions between them, a rising cost of living, and outrageous New Jersey property taxes, they were deep in the red and falling deeper every month.
I wanted them to sell the house and move to a smaller condo or even a retirement community, but they refused. They ' d say, " This is our house and this is where we ' re staying! "
