My mother only has 350k saved for retirement. If she retires at 70 is she fucked?

Am I going to have to bail her out?

We live in Canada. She owns her own home.

I'm hoping with a combo of that and CPP she will be able to survive. I'm splitting the house into two suites and living with my family in one and her in the other, then we can split property taxes and maintenance.

Since you said you live in Canada so she gets tons of help with healthcare and such and also that she owns her own house then she shouldn't need to be bailed out.
350k Should last her a good 20-25 years considering all of that. Depending how long she lives you MIGHT need to put some cash towards supporting her in the last 5 or so years of her life though.

Well if I have to I'm willing, I do love my mother and she raised me well. I'm just starting to plan my own retirement and want to know the outflow.

My only hope is that she stays independent and works until she dies suddenly of a stroke or heart attack (horrible as that sounds, I would rather she lived to the age of 90 in perfect heath then just suddenly died because I really can't afford to spend 30 years of my life supporting her because she was irresponsible).

is she leaving you the house after she passes?
just saying that it's in your interest that she keeps it. She's probably mentally attached to it too, it'll be best to help her stay there, for her and for you.
Even if you didn't love her, there's financial incentive to help her.

At least my dad got his shit together and owns a house so I won't have to worry about him.
Also my mother's student debts are entirely her own fault, she went back to uni for the last 5 years despite not being able to afford it because she wants to be a psychologist. Hopefully she manages to get a job as one or otherwise she'll never pay these debts (as in, she literally avoids earning enough to have to pay for them and never looks at how much they are so she can pretend they don't exist until they become someone else's problem because she died or something).

You’re in Canada, so i’d assume that her healthcare and social insurance should be provided by the government, which is a big help. If she owns her own house, she should be able to survive on $17.5k per year until the age of 90. Housing and healthcare are usually the two biggest expenses for the elderly and here they’re taken care of. You need to count her home towards her retirement and realize that, if it comes to it, a reverse mortgage or selling the house is a strategy that’s available to you—even better (financially) would be to move her in with you and rent the home out for extra income or just move in with her and live rent-free. They can’t really go anywhere or spend much money otherwise once they get frail. And that’s if she actually lives to 90. My mom had a stroke at work just after turning 55 and died just over a year later. Her care and funeral expenses bankrupted me.

Guess what faggot, not everyone has the type of parents that they would even WANT to spend their time with. I lived with my mother for 20 years before I moved out, it was unbearable because she was a domineering, controlling, lazy, emotionally manipulative bitch who made me do everything for her while she lazed around in bed all day watching TV. She pushed away every single one of her relatives with this selfish 'my way or no way' attitude, my dad, her siblings, extended family and eventually that even included me.

If your family is a shitshow then obviously you are not obligated to live with them, but if you can make it work it seems desirable. It depends on your situation and I wouldn't judge one way or the other. My dad can go fuck himself but my mom cared for me when I was younger and generally did her best to not fuck up our relationship, so I would be happy to take care of her and if she wants to move in on my family's financial situation I would be okay with supporting her at the very least.

Don't pay her debts when she eventually passes away. You'll probably get phone calls from scummy debt collectors trying to pressure you into becoming responsible for them, don't even give them a response just hang up the phone until they stop calling.

there's actually an IRS rule called 72t that will let you withdraw early without penalty.

plenty of places in North America where you can live easily off ~$15k-20k/year (even paying like $800/mo rent or mortgage). Park the money in a low risk ETF that pays 5%+/year and it'll generate $17.5k which is more than enough for a frugal elderly person in low-cost housing

you must be a young child? she owns her house outright (so no mortgage/rent) and lives in Canada (no medical bills) and you're wondering if $350k will last her?

Yes, absolutely. What will her monthly expenses even be? utility bills, groceries, and maybe transport costs (ie: bus pass, or if she owns a car/drives then gas, insurance) and that's really it. Even if she had that $350k under a mattress gaining $0 interest, I doubt her expenses would exceed $1000/month so she'd be set for like 29 years or until the ripe old age of 99

It sounds like we have the same mother. Mine is still paying off the $10k loan she took out for nursing school in the mid 90s. I think she's already paid back $20k and still has further to go.

It's pretty much a given that me and my siblings will have to fund our parents due to Nigerian culture. The assets between them (everything including 401k and house) isn't more than $250k.
