My wife ...You do not give her another bit of money. My wife and I are working through Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University and loaning money to people who will never repay or get themselves out of their situation is detrimental to you and your life. Your friend will be mad at you but from the sounds of it she is selfish and weak. You are not and you must not give in to her. What an awful friend making her child a godchild and guilting you into supporting that child, awful. Give her nothing, her husband can work so he should.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9098302946353381019.post-18014867617475681712010-01-31T23:39:35.542-08:002010-01-31T23:39:35.542-08:00sis, you could politely decline to give her more m...sis, you could politely decline to give her more money. i agree with your sister, she will get used to asking money from you if you continue to lend her money. i had a friend who borrowed Php5K from me, which i lent her because she was a friend, but failed to pay me back and still asked if she could borrow more. i said no because my finances weren't in a good condition, so to speak. she didn't bother me anymore (she still hasn't paid me, though).<br /><br />though she may feel bad about it, just brush it off. i know you would help if you can, but you also have your own responsibilities. give if you can, not because they tell you to, but because you want (and are able) to. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
