Yaay?

I got a letter from my mortgage company today. Effective immediately, my PMI is canceled/terminated. This means that after all the existing months work though the system, my monthly required mortgage payment goes down. That means if I keep paying the same amount, more goes to the principal, and less interest gets accrued. This is a very good money thing.

In other news, my mom is still at the rehab facility, with covid, but since she's vaxxed it won't kill her (I hope).

So apparently Mom got sent home on Friday, although he hasn't called me yet. Her last call was for me to pay her phone bill because the person doing her bills for her screwed up. There is a reason that I have an account that I dump money in to so I can pay some of mom's bills.

Mom never was very good with money, but doesn't want my sister to take over her finances because my sister has very different priorities and is very controlling. My sister never had to budget for herself while poor - she married the son of rich folks, never lived on her own except in the dorms at college, never had to chose between food, utilities and transportation. So she just doesn't understand the juggling act. Mom never involved her in the money decisions when my sister lived with her.

Understood.

Glad to hear she's home. Understood, re: your sister. Glad to know you have that account, although I don't know your mother.

DubhFosterMom is...continuing to be DFM. In both the good and crazy-making senses of that statement.
