[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DHs family shares this kind of info and it drives me nuts.  When one of them asks me anything I just make sh!t up.[/quote]

The problem with lying is that people repeat the lies as gossip. Then people may ask for money.[/quote]

I’m so glad I’m privileged enough not to have family members asking for money. Who does this?[/quote]

I've had co-workers I didn't know well ask for loans. A kid's mom in my kid's preschool class befriended me just so she could ask for money when she was in over her head on a home purchase. A person I had dropped as a friend was trying to hunt me down to ask for money because her useless, shiftless dh got sued by people he ripped off.  My dh's brother started dating a seriously sketchy woman who hadn't paid taxes in years and was in trouble. Brother never forgave dh for refusing to "loan" the girlfriend thousands to get her out of trouble. Every one of these people are financial idiots who continued to have financial emergencies years later despite having good jobs and good pay. [/quote]
