I got a call from my dad today asking to borrow money because he is 2 months behind on his house payment. He didn't specify an amount, just saying "whatever you can do". I'm 22 years old and I live on my own, with my boyfriend. I work full time, bought my own car, pay bills, and have spent extra money entertaining family members that have been visiting and flying to see other family. Together, my boyfriend and I have a good income - but we're struggling with our issues like paying off his debts so that we can look into buying our first home and afford a wedding in the next few years. I'm hesitant to give him any money because I'm afraid some of it will go towards helping my brother who is 26 years old, lives at home, jumps from job to job, and spends all of his extra money on drugs. My dad has never been good at budgeting his money. It burns a hole in his pocket. I'm torn as to what to do. If I loan him any money - it wouldn't be much as I only have $700 to my entire name. Thoughts??
