Funny how some can afford vacations but don't plan for or can't afford it when it goes wrong, which means they really couldn't afford the vacation in the first place.

I have a "Lending Money" story. I'll make it as simple as possible. A disabled relative of mine went on a cruise and almost died on the last day of the vacation. She ended up in a hospital for 6 weeks before being able to fly home. Since I'm the only relative that could help her, I ended up spending almost $3,000.00 getting her home. And, of course, it was on a credit card. It took her over a year to pay me back, which really set me back, as I had no other outstanding debt. And to be honest, it wasn't the money that upset me. It was her attitude about paying it back. Her comment, "What do you expect me to do - get a cash advance?!" And to that I replied, "Yes, what do you think I did?!" Moron! Never again! If she ever takes another vacation, which is highly doubtful, I already told her not to call me. I'll be financially unavailable. Hi. I have a “Lending Money” story.

What a great letter. That is very cool. I agree with the giving money as a gift idea when appropriate, and I very much like the offer to give if the person will take some action to better their situation. In fact, I know someone dealing with a similar situation now so I will pass this along. Wow! What a great letter. That is very cool.
