To whomever asked if the situation were reversed, I know this sounds arrogant but it would never be this bad for me. I can't ever imagine my sister doing as well as I did and me making as many poor choices as she has. ( bad marriage, no money saved, probably won't pay me back. ). She has some major character flaws that make it difficult for me to want to loan her money. [/quote]

It is arrogant.  It reflects a level of arrogance and delusion (things can happen to anyone)... there but for the grace of whoever or whatever you worship go you.  You never know when karma can bite you on the ass.  A little humility and empathy might serve you well some day.  :shock:  [/quote]

(Not OP here.) I'm guessing from your post (and others who are on Team Give Sister Whatever She Asks For) that you do not have, for lack of a better term, fuck-up siblings/relatives? I'm not necessarily in the Don't Give camp, but I do see the downside of giving money, especially if it enables further dysfunction. [/quote]

I'm fine with that part.

I'm not fine with anyone so arrogant as to say that they KNOW that this could never happen to them ...  yeah, right.  Pride goeth before the fall, as they say.  Give Sis money with care, but don't act like your shit don't stink.
