Assuming this is real….

I have been asked for money by almost every person I am related to and I respond the same way:

Let’s set up a time to meet. Bring your bank statements, paycheck stubs, loans and outstanding balances, credit card statements and taxes from the last 3 years.

I will look through all of it with you and figure out a solution to this crisis INCLUDING considering loaning you money or even giving you money.

No one has said yes in the last 25 years.


You're treating them a like a bank would. Of course they won't say yes. It's the right play though.

I always say if a lending institution won't lend them any money there's probably a good reason for it

Difference is that I probably would not charge them interest. It would actually be a free loan or a free gift of money.

Problem for them is that they don’t want me to see the actual reason they are in a financial bind. Which is exactly what needs correcting before you give them money.
