Older woman (80) paying me $2400 a month to live with her. I’m a 28 y/o male
I’ll try to keep this short, but long enough that you understand the dynamic of our relationship. I met her 5 years ago serving tables.
My mother, grandmother, and great grandmother had all passed away that year and my grandmother was a week prior to meeting this woman.
When I met her I broke down and told her how she reminded me of my grandma to which she replied “Well I can be your work grandma from now on.”
5 years later she still comes to the bar where I work to see me once sometimes twice sometimes 3 times a week. She is very sweet and she adores me. Almost like an obsession. Today she said she didn’t even want to sleep with me because it would ruin our friendship.
Anyway, there’s nothing explicit going on, I think she is just very lonely, and I am more than happy to give her attention because I have a soft spot for old people and I guess for her as well.
She has offered to pay off my rent for the remaining 4 months left on my lease, and has fixed up a room in her house that she wants me to move into.
She says she will pay me weekly allowance of $600 should I accept, and that I can come and go as I please. Obviously, I will be taking care of everything around the house. Everything that needs doing I will do and I will try to make the last years of her life the best ones yet. I’d do anything as long as it’s not “naughty”.
Should I feel bad about this arrangement? Her loser 56 year old son lives with her now and she is kicking him out so I can move in. He is very mean to her and a big baby. Her daughter hit me up expressing concern. Her other son I get along with just fine and he seems cool.
No one else knows about the $600 a month and they will not as we don’t want to ruffle any more feathers.
Last thing, she has told me she wants to leave me the home whenever she passes away.
Is this an angel? Am I being punked? Should I feel guilty? What would you do in this situation?
A little about me, I’m a 28 y/o male bartender and home improvement salesman with no degree and very little to my name. I do work hard and have a good nest egg of a savings built up and some stocks and crypto for investments. I don’t NEED the help, but god it would be a blessing.
What do y’all think??
