You need to set boundaries with people, especially when you live in places like Latin America. Your "friend" asking for money is a red flag that she sees you as an ATM and doesn't really respect you.

What about doing a $1k gift, and telling her this is as much as you’re comfortable doing until your kids are launched?

It’s not like she can’t give you a $1k gift back someday if she’s able. But making it a gift is more realistic than a loan.



Good approach.
