Depending how many siblings one has, it may be a matter of pay now or pay later.

Yes, she's paying a small amount of rent every month to cover basics. As much as I'd like to just give her the house and have her live there for free, that's not in the cards right now given the state of Canadian salaries.

She doesn't mind as it's much, much better than the income assistance apartments she lived in before and I'm asking for a lot less than they did, which helps her too.

Ultimately I'd like to buy another house and let her have that one, because she'll never be able to afford a house again on her own, but that's an aspirational goal at the moment.
