Never "loan" money to family. Either give it to them or just say no.

[@lamarbragg2337]

Facts. I never loan what I can't afford to lose

[@nonsochidolue7079]

Some ppl don't have enough to give but can loan out to a loved one. Also some ppl don't need a handout but a loan. In life general there is no one shoe fits all... So I think in other to be safe you gotta jst knw how to navigate that space and you won't always win....jst like life.

[@bruceleeroy2956]

that's the stupidest shit I ever heard. that's why most of y'all won't be blessed with millions with that type of heart. I'll give my last $20 to my sister if she needed it.

@@nonsochidolue7079 nah, just give it freely. Don't give anything you can't afford to loose. Many of us loaned people money and never got our money back, there is no way to navigate people stealing from you. And it is stealing if you promise to pay people back and never do so.

Being an immigrant I know this feeling way too well , you could be living paycheck to paycheck and people back home will still be calling you everyday demanding you send them money and material things and when you explain to them how this country works they don’t believe you and think you’re holding out . Crazy thing is if you send them an amount they think is too small compared to what they think you have they won’t even call back to say thank you . They ask for new iPhones ect I don’t even have the latest phones but I’m supposed to just spent 1k to hand a grown adult a new phone simply cause we’re related ? Of course living in poverty is hard but stop being fucking entitled to people’s money, it takes the joy out of generosity

I have heard similar to this. My husband's family is from Trinidad. He was born in the U.S. His mom was a nurse, and his dad had a blue collar job. You would think on a nurse's salary they would be living okay in the 90s. He said they grew up poor. He found out they were sending a lot of money back home. He has 6 siblings, and they were struggling to eat. Their family back home did not care. They thought they were rich coming to America.

I’ve heard of an advice, a very good one. Whenever any family member asks, if it’s an affordable or small amount, just sit them down let them know that it’s not a loan, it is a gift to them but explain, that this is the last time they’ll ask from you.

I can appreciate everything spoken about in this clip. I agree with mostly all of it. The only thing I am not a fan of is when so-called "friends" you've known for many, many years decide not to help when you know they have it to give . I once was in a very desperate, near life changing situation and this "friend" used a long-winded "lending money destroys relationships" explanation as to why they could not assist...instead of simply saying no. I would have been totally fine with that if they did. I was asking for something I surely would have paid back but I was not even given the chance, and this was the only time EVER in all of my years of knowing this person that I asked for anything. Needless to say, they are no longer in my life. It taught me a huge lesson about focusing even more on self-sufficiency and about who really gives a damn about you and your well-being when you're near rock bottom.

[@bananabread2833]

Do you see how your perception that they SHOULD have helped you crept in? Nobody owes anybody anything! Because they did the wise thing doesn't mean they don't care about you. Neither a borrower nor a lender be. I learned that the hard way by giving, it changed the dynamics completely in the worst way.

[@TheRetroWoman80]

@@bananabread2833 I hear you, good point. My main point, though, was I would have absolutely been fine with a blatant no. And, I never felt this person (or anybody) SHOULD have assisted me. However, I thought (and was wrong to assume this) that they might have at least offered emotional support for my urgent situation but did not. Upon deeper reflection later, I realized going forward in life I have zero expectations of people giving a damn about me and what goes on in my life. I just do me and make sure I cover all my bases to the fullest.

My rule is if you say it’s a loan, it’s a loan. If you say give it to me, it’s not a loan. Like if you can’t even be transparent when asking, it’s a problem. And if you give me a date, then let’s work towards that date; if you can’t make the date, communicate, don’t just say nothing. And I agree, be realistic; if you asking for money you know you know you don’t have or can’t pay back, don’t even. Also, if you haven’t said two words to me, but you can ask me for money, you’re asking the wrong person. I’m Dominican American, and my family in DR doesn’t even know how I’m doing, how my kids are, but as soon as they get my number or find my social media, they’re asking me for Jordans, iPhones, and Zara 😅. Don’t even give me a hello, how are you, just straight, send me. Like, “What you say your name is again? And I know you from where?”

When you get rich or famous friends and family thinks you are supposed to give them money that they never work hard for it smh 🤦‍♂️

[@anndeecosita3586]

My family and friends don’t ask me for money and I don’t ask them. Now sometimes we OFFER each other money when we see each other dealing with a situation like death, illness, lay off and so on. I have a friend who is a divorced mother of four who doesn’t receive child support, works multiple jobs, and yet her friends and family are always hitting her up for loans they don’t pay back. I told her she’s a sucker.

He never said he wasn’t or don’t give it. He said a person looking to turn a small amount into millions

[@SilmeonMusic]

I get we all want quality lifestyles and to attain that lifestyle we have to go about life a certain way. But we all die. You can’t take it with you. Money is really meaningless in that sense. Just always continue to be you and authentic. If you’re lucky enough, share as many blessings as you can while you’re here and able to.

[@Lyrical_Replies]

I never understood why people say you can't take it with you when you die but yet you got to pay for a casket you got to pay for a land to be buried in you got to buy a suit everybody got to wear the same color suits to the funeral death is not cheap especially if you die without money and people got to cover your burial expens

[@SilmeonMusic]

@@Lyrical_Replies I don’t think you’d worry about a 20-30k funeral when you have millions/billions which is the case here lol. Leaving money behind is one thing but we’re talking about helping people and sharing blessings if you’re in that position to.

[@Lyrical_Replies]

@@SilmeonMusic where In my comment did I mention "million and billions"? That comment was based around regular people in the famous "you can't take it with you quote" that poor people love to say it had nothing to do with Jay Z Nice try tho

[@SilmeonMusic]

@@Lyrical_Replies nice try with what? Just elaborating my point. Not taking any shots at you bro.

[@ocampbell1954]

lol at you can't take it with you. Do you understand generational wealth and why white folks have stole millions of dollars and land from black people. Money affects generations and generations. If you can give your kids a head start and set them up that's a blessing. Why do you think Jewish people have success in this country. They have life insurance, college fund, wedding funds, etc in place for their kids so they can get a leg up in life.

[@kerrajohnson3203]

I've never asked for money but I understand people are broke. It's so unrealistic to think you're going to go around your broke family for the holidays and they're just going to give you hugs and well wishes.

[@PHlophe]

Kierra, its more to do with the fact that they make up outlandish stories to ask for cash or straight up ask for unrealistic amounts and then get upset when you refuse to play.

[@kerrajohnson3203]

@@PHlophe I totally understand that. But if I were them I just wouldn't go home period.

[@FinessingFinance2024]

@@kerrajohnson3203 If you don't go home then you may not get to see some of your family members at that time of the year. Keep in mind that some family members may be too old or they're too sick to travel to where you are so you just have to make the trip,regardless of those who may want handouts when you're in town.

That's a conversation that's so important, 1 reason most people don't wanna lot of money they fear it will destroy relationships amonest their family members, it can if you allow it. Yes you must be willing to say no and be ok with it, if you do give them. Money don't expect it back
