I'm looking to get engaged with this young lady that I've been dating about nine months,

and I'm just getting into figuring out her financial situation,

and it's really a freaking mess to be an understatement here.

Oh, boy.

So she's co-living with her mother, her sister that is married, her other sister that is married, and of course herself.

And they all co-signed signatures and such and incomes to be able to

afford and purchase a home together. Whoa, six of them? So they're all on the deed. They're all on the

mortgage. Right. They're all in this mortgage. And then there's a food truck business that

they run as a family business and there's other incomes and then there's

private and business credit cards all mixed together and my girlfriend's credit score is tied to all

of these as a co-sanger and two auto loans that she's also tied to oh boy okay i'm okay. So if in six, you know, six months, if I was

hoping for a spring or summer wedding here, that like, I cannot join finances with over $100,000

of small bets and a house that I have zero equity or input in. I don't think she has equity in any of those things. She's been coaxed into signing as a co-signer and all of those things, but does not have equity in any of those things. How much of this does she understand? It sounds like you are well-versed in the world of finance, and I'm worried she just is like oh I didn't understand all

this I just signed because it was family and I thought it all work out I I don't know if she

understood the weight of when you sign a co-sign a loan like that how much are you on the line for

I don't think she really understood that. She doesn't understand that if they all

default, that it all reflects on her and that she could be the one that's responsible for all of it.

Correct. So there's another curveball here. One of the sisters has cancer, and so her and her husband

aren't really working. You've worked too hard to get control of your money just to let strangers
