If you want to make enemies, lend money to your relatives.
The age-old question: Should I borrow from relatives? On the one hand, it seems to offer some kind of security guarantee. No one will charge you interest or ask you to pay the amount ahead of time. But, on the other hand, problems can arise on the spot. Especially if someone wants to sit on your neck.
Our reader Galina knows firsthand what this means. We are sure that after the incident, she is unlikely to want to borrow money from her relatives again. What happened and on whose side the truth, read further in the article.
At one time, my older sister Tonya successfully married and forgot about financial problems. She and her husband have their own business, country house, car and apartment in the city center, which they rent out.
Tonya is 10 years older than me, recently turned 45. Unfortunately, she never had children. Together with her husband, she often goes to orphanages, brings children toys and hotels, helps financially. Maybe she's trying to make up for what she's missing.
My sister doesn’t forget our parents either. She pays for their communal and buys vouchers to the sanatorium. A couple of times they even went abroad. Anyway, Tonya's very generous and in trouble, I know. It's a shame she didn't have the kids.
What can you say about me? My husband and I are raising three children and living together in an old 2-room apartment. Life is not sugar, but somehow we manage. My husband is just golden, always looking for some part-time jobs, so that we do not have to save on everything. But sometimes that's not enough.
Last year I borrowed $1,000 from my sister. I promised that I would pay back in parts and pay the full amount in a year. Every month we would drop a certain amount on Tone's card, everything was just fine. But recently my husband was laid off at work.
We have to pay some unfortunate $200. My husband is diligently looking for a new job, while we live on our last savings. Of course, there is no question of a sister’s debt. Honestly, I thought Tonya would leave us that money, forgive the rest of the debt. I have three children and she is a wealthy person.
But the other day my sister called me and reminded me that it had been exactly a year since we had borrowed money. It’s time to return the entire amount to the end. I was shocked by her demand, because she knows that we are in trouble and have no money.
If I were Tony, I would never have asked my sister to pay me back. She lives without denying herself anything. Does she really need that $200 right now? I don't know what to do. My husband is on his nerves every day, and the kids are also worried that we have problems.
It may be silly, but I'm terribly offended by Tonka. I don't even want to talk to her. I didn’t think my sister could do that!
From the editorial staff. If you borrow money, you have to pay it back. Agree, we do not know exactly how the financial situation of the sister of the main character Tony. Maybe she's not having the best of times and she really needs the money.
It is very strange that relatives can borrow money from each other, but can not talk heart to heart. We are sure that if Galina asked her sister if she could postpone her debt a little, she would not refuse her. But she didn't do it, she was just offended by Tonya. But she, in fact, does not have to give anyone her blood earned for nothing.
I wonder who you think is right in this situation? Boldly share your point of view in the comments!
