re: Cousin just asked me for money: he’s a high income earner and parents are wealthy

once when I was moving I had three real estate closings in three states within 24 hours, selling two, buying one, I don't recall what I needed it for but I asked my mom if I could borrow 30-40k for 48 hours, she said that her and my dad were going on a trip but she'd leave a check on the counter in her sewing room(this was way before instantaneous money transfer among us proletariat was available,) I paid her back when I said I would, but I've heard of a hell of a lot more stories where lending money among friends/family didn't turn out so well

Very similar situation here because I dropped a payment from one of my liquid channels into a new silo’d bank account and they froze my funds for 7-10 days.

The dread and shame I felt borrowing the money from fam for less than a week was intense. I don’t know how people knowingly swindle money from their family.
