You don’t loan money to family. You either give it to them, or you don’t. There is no in between.

i paid my neighbor's rent for several months a couple years ago. she's the greatest neighbor ever and it was worth it to keep her next door. i knew going in she'd probably never pay me back and she hasn't. but she cleans the shite out of my house every month or two since, worth every penny

Had a cousin need a flight home from Hawaii "right now"
Bought a flight for him home to Tampa that night. Knew I would never see the money again despite his promise.
He never talked to me again. I count it as a win.

It's 9k to her sister for some dental work
What kind of dental insurance does she have? $9k out of pocket for a cavity sounds like too much. You are probably about to get ripped off. Make sure she isn’t buying crystal meth or heroine with your money, or you definitely won’t see it again.

Anyone who loans friends or family money with the expectation they’re getting back is an idiot. Just give them the money bruh
Or don’t
Or don’t

Yep. Unfortunately I have burnt 500 bucks or less a couple times with my wife's family. A few times involved famiy vacations and the splitting of costs. One time was for some material use for some home repairs.
We got out that game when one of her sisters asked for help replacing the ac condenser unit at hour house. Asked if I could just buy it and she would pay me back over time for parts cost... After I already agreed installing it for free.
We bought her a window unit and called it her Christmas gift. Drew the line there to never lend family money or buy materials for home repairs without cash in hand first. I'll do the labor for free all day, but not 1 dollar is coming out of my account towards fixes/improvements in their homes.

I have a rule. I never lend money to anyone ever. If I decide to gift someone money it’s only what I can afford to give. This has eliminated any money problems I have with people.

Never loan money you can’t afford to give away.
Posted on 2/7/26 at 9:58 pm to Cregg
Wonder how much she has already given away previously and you may not know about. Big red flag. She’ll be giving away your money after you are married

Your fiancée is an easy mark and her family will always leech off her. Time to break up before it ends badly and you're on the hook for half.

Say goodbye to the money or to your sister in law

My brother extorted 8k from me about a year and a half ago. He’s wouldn’t sign a document until I gave him money. He’s a POS.
And after my dad completely gave up on life in his mid 50’s he would call every week and ask for money.
But loans? No. Tell the girl that as a matter of principle you don’t lend money to family. If you want to gift it to her, go ahead. But you’ll never see it again so think about that before you do it.

In the middle of that possibility, so make sure it's all written down. Covering all possibilities.
Got an interest rate connected to the amount, I got something of worth as collateral, but covered only about 15% of the amount. But has sentimental value to them. It has taken a lot longer to get paid back. It's not a big deal financially to me, but sucks that the relationship is now different.
The collateral value has increased some, probably 25% of amount owed now, so at this point I feel it's mine, if not at least partially, even if fully paid back, just for allowing the extension without hassle. But apparently I'm the bad guy for thinking this.

If you want a family member to hate you... loan them money. It happens alot.
It's a great way to create resentment. I guess they hate the fact that they are indebted to their family member and their family member is more successful.
I once cashed a check from a girl who worked with my girlfriend. It bounced. When I told her, she cussed me out. I guess I should never have had the audacity to try to cash her check. She disappeared not long afterward. I guess I was not the only one she wrote bad checks to, and she decided to skip town.

I can’t believe nobody has asked the most important question yet.
Is she hot?
Maybe you can work out a way for her to pay it back….after she gets her grille fixed of course.

This largely depends on your fiancée’s financial situation. For some it’s nothing.
