All right, today's question comes from Katie in Oregon.

Katie writes, about seven years ago, my parents had asked me to get a home together with him.

At the time, we were in an apartment with the baby, and our home buying option was taking longer as my husband is self-employed.

I said no many times, but after being asked over and over again, my husband and I agreed.

Here I am seven years later and miserable.

Yes.

My parents put the house in their name with only me on the mortgage.

I'm not even on the deed.

Oh, Katie.

They tell me that I can't be on the deed due to the fact that they are over 65 and we'll say on taxes, that's insane.

My husband completely renovated the home spending many thousands of dollars as the house was falling apart when we purchased it.

We pay 80% of the house bills and whenever something happens, we fix it ourselves and put the time and money into it.

At this point, my parents know I am unhappy, but they have informed me that if we decide

to sell the house, they will be keeping most of the profit because they are retired and will

need it, whereas we are still young and working. We have no money saved up because it has been

all spent in this home, which has led to some debt as well. I feel like we've been fixing a home

that we simply rent. My parents have complete control legally and financially.

I feel so helpless, lost, and have, and taken advantage of.

That's it.

Wow.

Well, Katie.

Let's forget all the other stuff.
