My mother in law makes many poor financial decisions. She switches jobs about 2-3 times a year, is filling bankruptcy for the second time in her life. She is about ready to let her car go back to the bank. She goes on vacations at least once a year...... the list goes on.She went from making a good living to just barley getting by on 25k a year. She could make more money than this but she only works part time and does some real estate appraisals on the side.She has been in this cycle of living like this for about the past 4 or 5 years. She has borrowed money from every friend and family member she has. And its not small amounts its 500$ here and 1000$ there.....My husband makes a good living as a car salesman about 65k a year and I am a stay at home mom who is about ready to have another baby. We have a little money saved in the bank but not much, we only have one car and are still renting trying to save for our own house.Knowing our situation she apparently thinks the little we have we should be able to loan and give her money when she needs it. She asks to borrow 50$ here or 100 there at least once a month. Back in March we GAVE her she didn't have to pay it back almost 500$.My husband and I made a mutual decision that we would no longer help her with money. But yet every time she calls to ask he gives it too her!!!! I do have to say its never large amounts and she does pay us back.So she called today and asked to borrow 100$ because she bounced some checks...... I told my husband NO dont do it but I think he will give in to her.Am I wrong for not wanting to dish $ out to her anymore?
