[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do it as a gift, and anonymously. I recently helped out a cousin I'm not remotely close to (haven't seen or spoken to him in about 15 years), for many of the same reasons -- seems like a good kid, having a hard time, he's super broke and it wouldn't hurt me at all. It wasn't much money, but he was incredibly grateful, kept promising to pay me back that week, etc. I told him to not worry about paying me back and I felt pretty good about the exchange. Within a week he was back asking for more, with a story about why he needed it that basically invalidated the previous story of why he needed money the first time. Lesson learned.[/quote] I've been trapped like this before. It's hard when your "poor" family thinks you are so right. I had a cousin ask for me to pay for college when I was 30 years old. Fool me once...[/quote]
