My husband's aunt called us worried last night, she says she needs $$$$$ cash fast. She got evicted from her house she was renting and the previous landlord still wanted the 3,000.00 to pay for all the fees and back rent. So, she in return, wants to borrow 300.00 from us and pay her own attorney to counter sue. Here is my drama: What if she loses the case? After all 300.00 is only to start her case with her own attorney. I asked my husband's family about her, and they all said that she wont pay me back. She has a bad rep with them, when it comes to money. Her husband refuses to get a job and is always mad at her for not getting a job, her husband pretty much takes advantage of the state and collects disability. But, they have 2 beautiful girls, and she makes me feel bad for her kids. Keep in mind that me and my hubby are still newlyweds, but I love his family like they were my own.

If you loan her money now, she will constantly be asking you for more. Wise up!!! Don't do it. They both need to get a job. Talk to children services if you are concerned about the kids. Do not, I repeat, do not give them money.

I agree with Sillyquestion guy. If you really want to help them out and can spare GIVING her the $300 then I would do it. But it sounds like everyone in her family as gotten burned from her. So you can say borrow all you want but it will be more like giving. If you really want to help her out maybe find out some information from the state that you live in. See if she can get assist's from the FIA (Family Indepence Agency). She might be able to get approved for section 8, food stamps, medical insurance for her kids and more. Also you say she is suing her landlord. My question is why is she wanting to sue him? She is the one who didn't pay.

You NEVER loan money to family. If you don't want to give it as a gift then don't do it at all. Even if you make it clear that you want to be paid back within a certain amount of time it won't happen and will cause a rift in the family--and money is nothing to fight about.

IF you can spare the 300$ and dont actually expect to have it returned go ahead.
But you need to make it clear that there is no more after that, and stick to it.

you cant help someone who wont help themself. you can obviously tell that she is bad on paying people because of the situation she is in. i would tell her that i had a family to take care of, and dont have enough money to give her all she needs. however, i would suggest, only if you could afford to lose it, lend her a few dollars.

If you can afford to give her a 300$ gift go ahead but give it as a gift and don't expect repayment. If you can not afford it DONT. it will just cause hard feelings.

why should you and your husband just hand over hard earned money only to never see it again.
