[quote=Anonymous]Kick her out. Time for her to go to the school of hard knocks. Some people will only learn that way. My sister was murdered when I was 8 and left behind an infant who had some money come to her when she turned 18. Dumbest thing my mom ever did was tell my niece about the money because it went to drugs and alcohol and who knows what crap. She’s in her late 30s and (she and I are only 7 yrs apart, my sister was 14 yrs older than me) generally doing better.  Pulled herself together and got a two year nursing degree about 10 years ago, but she’s limited in what jobs she can get due to an arrest for something (not drug related, but protesting or something) when she was young. She had to get pretty down and out before she pulled it somewhat together. I say somewhat because she still has terrible taste in men, but not surprising given her dad murdered her mom and then she was raised by my dysfunctional family.

Anyway, if you can raise the trust fund age, do it. Otherwise I’d just stop talking about it and giving her money from it. She needs to pay rent, car payment etc. Stop giving her money. She’s spoiled. [/quote]
