Think about some possible things she could say or do in the next few days.....and be prepared. Catching you off guard is how she'll trip you up.
Okay here she is...
She texted me.
"Just wanted to talk to ya about monetary issues. I need to start paying rent and will not be able to help out as much on the house. So I don't know where you are at financially yourself. If you might have considered putting the house on the market sooner, and getting the baths fixed up a bit or you just keeping it all together yourself and getting a roommate maybe. Just throwing ideas out there that's all and wanted to give you a heads up. That's why I was calling."
We have a joint account, she knows where I'm/we are at
Almost everything is jointly owned.
We both need to pay down debt.
We can't afford to fix up bathrooms. Maybe she can with her boyfriend, but then why does she have to pay rent?
I can't afford house by myself. Roommate option is possible, but not yet.
She's not taking into consideration the dogs at all.
Hmmmm...interesting approach and she's definitely being coached. Not going to respond, but what's your take?
Should I ask her how much for her rent and just plan around it?
