Pro tip: cutting off my cousin after 15 years of her borrowing money was the best move I ever made
I used to just say yes every time she asked for $50 or $100, thinking I was being nice, but now I block her number and don't even think twice after she ghosted me for 6 months after I asked for $20 back. Anyone else have a family member who only reaches out when they need cash?
But come on, being generous with family is just what you do sometimes. If you can spare the cash and she's struggling, maybe a little grace goes further than cutting her off cold. Not saying she's right to ghost you, but 15 years of helping out means something too.
