[quote=marion]It’s not that difficult. If you love or care about the person, they need it for a legitimate reason, and you have it to give, then give it. It’s only money. But, make sure you can afford to part with it knowing that you may not get it back.[/quote]

Wow. An old thread with marion’s comment.

I strongly voted against it as well, even if you know you may not get it back. I am OK with parting the money already. But everytime I buy/do cheap stuffs (just because I am a relatively cheap person, that’s all), that relative will become angry with me, saying that “are you intentionally doing this to force me to return the money?” And then she will make all kinds of excuses for not paying back the money even though we told her repeatedly to forget it. It is a real annoyance to the relationship.
