2 entitled sisters demand "their cut" of the youngest sibling's house after their mother passes because Mom helped pay for it: ‘I paid the $80k deposit, and Mom helped with the mortgage’

The pair were roommates at first, living together to save money and make financially frugal decisions. If anything, the youngest sibling started paving the way for her mother's sunset years, investing in a house that she could control the rent and keep her mother safe in the event that she needed help or maintenance. 

This is what it looks like to be a good kid to your aging parents.

None of this was intended to cut the others out; they made their position clear when they decided to focus on their own lives instead of helping out Mom. 

When I was in my 20s, I also lived with my mother. For complicated reasons, neither of us had an apartment lined up around the same time both of our leases were ending. I was looking for roommates, and she was looking to cut costs, so it just made sense that we would move in together. Obviously, my situation is a little more financially dismal, because if I could have afforded an $80k downpayment, I certainly would have bought a house of my own to share with Mom, but instead, we shared a tiny studio together by the beach. 

Our years living together brought us closer, but also helped teach us both about shared finances and pulling our weight financially. It seems to me that the woman in this story did just that, splitting costs with her mom like roommates and finally undercharging her for market rate once she was independent enough to move out. 

The siblings were just jealous that she was smarter with her money, that's all. 

If they wanted to buy a house for Mom to live in, too, they could have considered that in their own 5-year plan, but instead, when they were 20-something, they were more focused on the clubs, living downtown, and living with their friends. It's not so glamorous to live with an aging parent, but at the end of the day, that can be what paves your financial future.
