Jow Forums I'm a 28 yo living with mommy like a manchild. Currently 7 months unemployed, trying to find work, it's fucking brutal. Mom survives off alimony but dad has stopped paying. I think she is going to lose her house, she doesn't work due to combo of health/mental problems and lazy.
I can see the time is approaching where I'm going to have to figure out what to do with her.
Here is my gripe however, my family are the classic boomer archetype. They bought $750k homes and 80k luxury cars but refused to help me or my brother with college or certs. As such, we are always scraping by, from one shit job to the next. My mom has helped me out a few times with emergency expenses, but not without significant bitching along the way. Dad isn't in the picture.
Basically what I'm trying to gauge, is ***to what extent should I try to help my mother as she becomes older?*** She's become a hoarder too and has a melt down if I try to help. She lays in bed all day and does literally nothing and refuses to make any effort to help herself. She's going to be a huge fucking burden in the coming years to me, and I don't know what to do. I don't really want my mom living with me since I'd like to have a gf maybe kids, but I don't want my mom to end up on the street. I also struggle financially myself from lack of degree/certs.
i stopped reading where you wrote they have 750k house and 80k house

Gonna have to go your own way OP, it’s the only way. If you have funds later in life help your mom if possible it but it’s time to start your own life. She may try and financially drain you once you have a job but you gotta do you first.
Move on and get going. The sooner the better.

Sounds like this is out of your control.
Finding a job is a full time job wagie. Get back to work.

>mfw you can't buy even a shitty one floor house for under $750k in my city
>She may try and financially drain you once you have a job but you gotta do you first. That's what my whole post is about, the latter part. It's a matter of time until I find work again. But what do I do with my boomer mom?
THEY did, not me. I'm not rich faggot or I wouldn't be living with my mommy

How's her mortgage looking, what's the monthly cost? And how much would a minimum wage job yield you?
Are there any other sources of income except alimony?
Cooper Flores
Also, how long until the mortgage finishes, and how old is your mother?

She maxed out her expenses like a dumb fucking nigger, $1400 for mortgage but it's a decent house. She also lives 1.5 hours from the metro area, so I'd have to commute 3 hours a day just so I can live with my mom and pay her mortgage. KILL ME
Min wage jobs don't hire full time, only part time.
>other income sources No, that's why I'm on Jow Forums

They divorced like 6+ years ago or so. Mom is nearing 60. She can't collect disability because she hasn't worked in the past 10 years.
