My mother is 59. She works and gets paid about $11/hr. Comes with benefits. I have power of attorney over her. I manage all her finances which is basically nothing. She essentially makes enough to just live at the moment. I bought her car and pay for her phone. She lives in an apartment that costs about $700/month. I make decent money in a LCOL area. She lives near me which makes things easier. I get anxiety thinking about what she will need when she gets older. Any advice will help. I am an only child as well.
