You’ll probably never get paid back Nearly three quarters of people who borrow money from friends or family never pay the loan back in full. Rather than expecting to get paid back, you should view the loan as a gift in your mind. Chances are you’ll never see that money again, so only lend as much as you are comfortable parting with.

Did you loan her the money with strings attached? Like hey if I loan you this money your husband is my bitch for life kinda thing?

Depends on the situation but I bet it’s something like this.
The BIL doesn’t see value in a private school education and would just as soon send his son to public school.
Your sister is the one who wants her son in private school but she has little to no means to afford it herself. Your nephew wants to go to that school as well.
Am I close?

Kill your sister and frame your BIL. Collect your money back and the truck, netting you an increase in cash and no more trashy relatives.

sounds like my mother and father in law. Said they couldn’t afford to pay anything for our wedding, then both went and bought brand new cars within months of said wedding. Decisions like that is why they are in their position.

I'd calmly address your concerns with her instead of letting it fester and spoil your relationship.
Best case there's a reasonable explanation and they work towards repaying you. If not you gave them a chance and an any repercussions to the relationship are their fault. If nothing else you'll be helping her and your nephew by informing her the bank of bro won't be available next time tuition is due so they may have time to prepare responsibly.

What do you do?
Posted on 5/25/20 at 4:27 pm to 3morereps
Nothing. I don't lend family money. I give it to them if they need it so that this type of issue won't be an issue.

Try to remember, you’re doing it for your niece/nephew. Worth every dollar.
Posted on 5/25/20 at 5:18 pm to 3morereps
To you it was a loan, but to her it was a gift from her brother, the sucker!

People who allow others to borrow money deserve default.
Borrowing is what a bank is for.

Not lend money to your deadbeat relatives.

Encourage nephew to finish school. Tell sis and BIL their kid is more important to you than their selfish ways.

My mom gave $1000 to a shady cousin of mine several years ago. She said it was the best investment she ever made because he would NEVER come around again...and he hasn’t.

Rule #1. Never lend you more money than you can stand to lose.
Rule #2. Never let relatives borrow large sums of money. It will eventually ruin your relationships
