for next to nothing because it was worth that much. My brother and I are now subsidizing his income because his SS benefits don't cover it all. We're getting close to the point where he needs to be in assisted living, which is at least $5k a month. Not sure how we're going to cover that. But, my wife recently started working and I just took a new job, so between the two of us, instead of saving for our future and to try and not put our kids in the same place that we are now with our parents, , we have to pay for our parents. But, that's life and our responsibility. At the same time, it really sucks financially.
