I know a guy that is jumping from dysfunctional relationships to even worse ones just to stay away from his father who demands money every single conversation,  family members with no boundaries make damage way beyond the finacial side of things.

Mom should be ashamed of herself for wanting to take her son life savings that he worked so hard in saving. Mom to sell the house. Mom is not going to repay back the loan of $50,000. Don't do it.

That first mom is a crook. She started plotting for that young man's money as soon as she knew he had it.

Adam, if your mother is asking you for $50k to help her with this mess you must know all the details of her financials. I think she will need to sell the house, rent a small apartment, get a job and become self sufficient. She is not in her right mind if she is not competantly managing her life.

Rachel is partially wrong- he shouldn’t have told his family how much he has

My mom had the best saying. She said never lend money to a friend. If you just say no, you will only lose a friend. If you say yes you will lose the friend and the money!

My brother-in-law and his wife never have money because they go out 5 out of 7 days a week!! They drink and eat lavishly. So, he needed $2k to pay for an exam (because he ate like a pig and was sick) my wife and I didn't even bother to say I'm sorry I don't have the money to lend you money. Their father lent him that money. He did the exam because my wife (his sister) took him. <br>The following week they posted on instagram that his wife gave him a brand new PS5!!! We asked their father if within that week they had returned his money and the answer was NO! ... people are just absurdly irresponsible and think they are entitled to other's people money!
