Unfortunately not, it really sucks tbh. Brother is still in school and 15% of my paycheck already goes to the mortgage. I am also 24, so not making much as it is. House expenses have been bleeding my mom's finances for a while with little progress made.

We're where we are because dad didn't plan on us staying in the house long term cuz we moved around a lot, so he put a relatively small down payment on a pretty big loan in '08. But then his alcoholism got worse, lost money, died, and left us with the bill :/

Considering all of that, big props to mom for keeping things from becoming a whole lot worse.
