[quote=Anonymous]She has only been with us for about two months, so we definitely don't have the kind of relationship where it would be appropriate for me to give her advice without it being kind of out of line.

She hasn't really been complaining or confiding about money; these are things that came up naturally: the health insurance because I asked her to pick a plan on ehealthinsurance and she wasn't doing it because she didn't understand it (so I helped with that), the helping her mom part because she needed a letter stating her pay rate and hours for an apartment they were applying to (she was just talking about it while I wrote the letter), and then other things that have come up in conversation about what she did on the weekend, a car issue she had, etc..

She actually seems very responsible in terms of not asking for any help from me beyond her regular pay and benefits, so I'm not really worried about that; it's more that she could be making life easier for herself and instead I see a crash coming. I've had nannies and a housekeeper who did involve me way too much in their personal business and ask for huge favors; I am very happy that she is more professional than that.

As a grown woman who has been-there-done-that under much better circumstances (family money to help me out of a hole), I just wish I could save her from the consequences. I know why it's happening: it's the first time she's had extra money at all, and she has no history of saving because she couldn't, and she's going a little crazy. Hopefully she'll get it under control on her own.[/quote]
