She hasn’t paid you a dollar yet, and her husband just bought brand new truck. What do you do?

You didn’t establish a repayment outline at the time?

Not lend money to your deadbeat relatives.

Either GIVE it or don’t. Never lend or let borrow money to friends or family.

Consider it a gift.

You have to expect that when you give money away, you're actually giving "money away."

Consider the money a gift and congratulate them on a new truck.

Maybe it’s cool in your trailer park to damage someone else’s property but that’s frowned upon in polite society

Financial rules according to everyone successful:

1. Never loan money;
2. NEVER LOAN MONEY TO A RELATIVE;
3. Never co-sign a loan;
4. NEVER CO-SIGN A LOAN FOR A RELATIVE;
5. If you frick up rules 1-4, consider it a gift and NEVER EXPECT YOUR MONEY BACK.

ETA: Yes, this includes your kids.

Remember that any amount given to family or friends should be thought of as a gift. You ain't getting your money back hoss.

What kind/grade/age for the tuition? I’d definitely be saying something to them especially since they likely got that hefty stimulus and haven’t paid you a penny.

You either give money to your family or you don’t. You don’t lend money.
