If you ask me, no uncle of mine would ever take that much money away from me, especially after I worked my a$$ off to get it and he didn't do a dam thing to get the money.

Uncle Sam is a fictional character made a long time ago to help get support for the military and the draft. Since the IRS collects money for governmental things (i.e. the Military) people often refer to it as "Uncle Sam".\nSee! Ya learn something new everyday!

I don't feel that society owes me anything but my relatives were the slaves, and the Africans that sold their people to whites wasn't no better then the Africans that was doing it for money in return they still lost.

Welcome to the club.  There's a lot of us who have lent money to relatives, friends, or romantic interests and got nothing back.  Forget the money.  In the future, consider any loan you make as a gift that you probably won't get back.  If you're not willing to lose the money, don't lend it.

Well, I can offer my own situation from last summer... without the vacation part as I am a "working poor single mom" and cannot afford a vacation.  I was driving down the street through a very nice, "older money", part of town.  I looked to my right and saw a very expensive woven purse (from Dillards, a store I can't even afford to step foot into).  It was obvious someone had left it on the roof of her car and forgotten about it.  Well, I gingerly looked into the checkbook to obtain the woman's address or phone number, called her, and made an appointment for her to come to my house and pick it up.  I actually offered to take it to her.  Anyhow, there were quite a few "hundreds" peeking out of her wallet.. I did not pick it up to see how many hundreds since I felt it would be an invasion of her privacy.  The woman was extremely grateful and later sent me a card with a cheque for 100 dollars for my trouble.  I decided that I would split the "found money" between both of my kids.  They each got 50 bucks and a very good lesson.

I am normally a generous person, and in the past when I have had extra money,  I have given money to people that were less fortunate. However, given my financial circumstances at the moment (my wife lost her job earlier this year and we are trying to survive on one income right now), I would probably keep most of it for myself and my family.

Well, sounds to me like you may never get your money here. I would just be upfront...tell her that your parents have decided they would like to buy it and since she has been unable to pay you the agreed upon amount you are going to sell it to them. She has renigged on her agreement and that gives you the right to sell it to someone else. If her and her uncle are upset...they will get over it.

GOD DOES NOT ASK FOR YOUR MONEY.

Sometimes with families you have the 'sponge' one that always relies on others to support them etc.  I didn't say that to be mean just pointing out an observation. I think your mother is looking out for you, she doesn't want you to have to give up what you have worked hard for to support somebodies elses decision she may consider wrong.  I don't know the history of your family, is this your aunts 5 baby or first?  Does she act responsible and is just caught in a bad situation at the time?  IF you give your aunt everything where are you going to be-what if tomorrow you find out you have a family after you have given your money away?  IS THE MONEY GOING TO HELP THE SITUATION OR PROLONG A PROBLEM???  if you give money how is it going to affect your relationship with your mother?\n\nBest of luck in your decision

i will not consider this till my pocket allows. I will like to give him/her the best, i can. \n\nThe money can be earned again and again, but friends can't be. Whether they are there for you, otherwise not. No other option.

Hey, brother, can you spare a dime?\n\nThis sounds like a good idea but if I were to do this I'd tend to think of it more as a grant and not expect a repayment.  At the very least you can make a friend and what's wrong with that?
