Lending money

[Stone]

Eurgg my pot head idot brother just came over, ( I don't think he's been up this early since High school) because he want's to borrow $150.00 so he can go to some stupid Mustang Races in KY and his flight leaves today that he doesn't have the money for :roll: So he decided to come to his knocked up sisters house and beg for money :roll: I said no I don't have it because he won't pay me back and he asked if i could ask My parents for him or ask GREG!!

If I ask Greg he will give it to him and let him work it off later and I will not let him borrow from my parents my mom just picked up a 2nd job.

I have no problem lending money to people, but I just paid for my parents 25th Wedding anniversery and he didn't offer Greg and I one dime, durring the hurricanes I paid for his flight and hotel, food, ect and he does nothing for me. I don't want to lend him anything but I feel really bad about it, he is 22 and irresponsible witch is understandable but I am sick of getting nothing in return from him.... I will most likley end up giving it to him or Greg will with a "this is your last chance" warning. :?

Well, if you do, it's your fault! He's 22, not 14 and you already know he's irresponsable. I say give him a good kick in the arse! HE'll thank you for it later!

Well...if he needed it for food, rent, car repair or medication....that would be one thing. But a trip for a grown man with no other responsibilities seems a bit frivolous. If he wanted to take a vacation....he should have planned ahead and saved up.

You probably aren't doing him a favor by enabling him to continue being irresponsible. If he wanted to go on this trip...he could've taken an extra job delivering pizza or something at night a couple of months back.

I wouldn't lend it to him. He's 22 and should have a job at this stage in his life. Handing things to him isn't helping him achieve being responsible. I wouldn't give him a red cent.

I don't give krystal any money at all for any reason. I don't buy her anything either. As far as i'm concerned, a lesson needs to be learned here and that's that life isn't a free for all. one has to work hard to make the money to live and have luxuries such as a trip.

nope. don't give it to him.

Do not lend it. You know to whom you would be lending, and that this lending is more of a one-way support, than a responsible act for him.

If it were for food, or anything really necessary, it would be a different matter. But this is a different thing, and at 22 he should know that fun things come with their price.

dont lend it, if he was responsible and really needed help then id say yeah, but he is just a leech.

Don't give him the money, it's not necessary that he goes on the trip anyway. If it were an emergency then it would be one thing but this is just taking advantage of your generousity and it won't stop until you cut him off.

ERGG!! My father lent it to him and me and my mother are very upset. My father is Blind and my brother won't even bother to run to the store and get him ciggaretts when asked or take him anywhere so POP's gives him $150.00 what an idot :roll:

[Duke]

So I wonder what valuable lesson your brother learned in all of this :?

[Stone]

Ask everyone untill someone cracks and take advantage of the poor and disabled!!
