Do you always extend your help financially?

yes. of course mose especially to my family. my brother is the one who is always in need of financial help right now... because of his family... he was quite not prepared when he started his family... but he does pay them as soon as he is a bit lenient with cash... or pays me back in installment. hehe

When some family members need financial assistance, we try to help a little bit. We can't afford much, but a little bit would help somehow. If I had plenty of money, I would definitely share my blessings to anybody in need.

I help those I trust. If you do me wrong once I will never loan you money again. I help my inlaws out quite often but they have always paid me back. There is a select number of friends I have loaned to but not many.

If I could afford to help anyone out financially then I would, but I cannot afford to lend money out half the time and so I do not. My eldest son is 16, still at school but works and earns his own money, he should be able to manage really well on what he earns but is young and so sometimes gets a bit excited and spends a bit more than he should! I try and help him out as much as I can as I do not like to see him short of money. I never borrow money off anyone, if I have not got I go without.

It is very rare that I will offer to help out my family/friends financially anymore as ive been crapped on in the past with regards to paying the money back.

We try to help when we can. We have never gotten back any money we have ever lent to people. I'm kind of getting tired of lending money to people who never do anything to change their situation. They never pay us back and they always seem to keep the bad habits that got them there in the first place.
