Not that we can afford a traditional one.
But this just sort of came together, and I'd love to hear your thoughts...
My wife had a mentor, his name was Ray.
Ray died suddenly a few months ago, and our son's middle name is Ray in memory of him.
My wife is very close to Ray's widow, her name is Donna and she's an amazing person.
Due to an oversight on Ray's part, Donna wasn't put on title for their house, and Ray's shittbag kids (who he wasn't close with and had barely spoken with) want the equity.
Her options were to rent out rooms to help pay the shitbag kids, or sell the house with no place to go because she's on fixed income/disability.
She's a bit lost, as Ray "was her everything"
She's been staying with us from Day 1, and told us Stetson gives her something to live for...and Stetson LOVES her.
She's raised kids and grandkids.
Our plan, and she's all for it, is:
- I help sell her house
- We have a big house that's practically empty, so she moves in to one of our bedrooms and lives for free
- She becomes Stetson's live-in nanny, and we pay her about $100/week
- We'll have a lease agreement so that I can have some rights as a landlord if things don't work out
- We'll work out details like private time etc...I don't want her to feel like a slave working 24/7. Boundaries, in other words
That's basically it in a nutshell.
Seems like a win-win for us.
Do you guys see anything that's concerning?
