I owe $60,000 on my mortgage with a relatively small monthly payment. My income is $1800 a month, combined SS and retirement payments. Recent medical bills have set me behind in my budgeting. There is no wiggle room and I am starting to worry. My original plan was to sell the house when I got to this point. The house is very conducive for aging and I have a strong social network. I am try to negotiate this next step in the most optimal way. I am seeking guidance. Thank you.
