The reason I ask is that a close family member is in too deep, and I am debating whether I should help.
Things to consider: This person seems to always get in too deep every few years. I've loaned this person money in the past. This person doesn't always pay the full amount back in the time promised, but will do what she can. This person IS family. I am doing AWESOME in my plan to reduce my debt. I do have a 2nd income which is going towards my debt, but could be used to help out this person.
I just have a hard time saying no and would feel guilty for not helping. But then again, it's not my problem to worry about and she shouldn't have put me in the situation she did.
Anyway, any advice would be appreciated or maybe if you have stories of when you've loaned money or even was the one receiving the money.
