She went to a fancy college knowing that she would have about $1000 a month payment when she got out.(Student loans) She has a good job now and can pay her bills, but most often puts fun before bills and gets behind ALOT. She has several credit cards that are going to collections because she chose not to pay them. She wants me to help with her bills. I can't afford it. She likes to eat out alot and go shopping with money that is for bills. She refuses to keep a checkbook register, so she has no idea what is in her account, and bounces checks constantly. She wont follow a budget, even though she COULD pay her bills if she did. But by doing so, it would mean less fun money. I have always put bills first, and fun later so I do not understand this mentality she has. She's always trying to make me feel guilty for not helping her pay the student loans like "All the other parents do". I can't afford to, but she thinks I can. Is it my responsibility to help her?
