What do I do about family asking for money?

You did it so why can't they also try and improve their lot in live. Just because you have become more successful is not any reason for people to try and take advantage of you financially.  With Christmas coming I imagine your going to hear all kinds of sob stories.  How did they survive while you were working your arse off to get your business to where it is today?  Be as honest with them as you can and let them know that your not a ATM and would appreciate if they all would cease asking you for help financially.  Congratulations on your business becoming successful and all the hard work you have put into it.  Bravo!!!

usually they have a gift registry where the couple lists things they need.  The best thing to do is to call her up ans ask "are you registered anywhere?" If not just give them some money .

Tell them you don't have the money. They won't want to cover expenses for you, so they won't beg you to tag along.

Ask to borrow money. They will avoid you like the plague from then on.

Politely let them know that this is YOUR money, not theirs and you will spend it in the way you feel necessary!  That does take alot of nerve for someone to tell u how to spend your own money!  wow!  You work everyday for your money- while they dont.  You work your butt off everyday so you should be able to spend your own money any way your little heart desires!  Dont throw the NO JOB thing in their face- that will just cause hurt feelings.  Just let them know- Hey I work my butt off everyday and if I want new shoes- Im gonna get new shoes!  Its mine to enjoy!

He's your dad, be honest.  say "Dad, i'd love to come, but I'm a bit strapped for cash at the moment".\n\nif he says "Well, i was going to pay anyway, seeing as you paid last time", then you're sorted!

Ask your parents for a loan.  Give them a plan to pay them back and state all the ways you will come up with the money needed.

Well, waiting for him to offer money first would be your best bet.  If you ask before he offers, he might think you are a gold digger.  Hint to him you are broke and you need a jump start until you can get on your feet.  Or maybe borrowing the money would make you look more responsible.

first go and do something that you would really enjoy..   then you could find a needy family that is really trying to make it(parents work etc...)  but just can not seem to get ahead and help them out with the utilities, medical, food, or basic living expenses.  you do not necessarily have to give them the money you could pay for or buy the things that they need.

honestly, it's tricky when dealing with in-laws and even siblings.\nmoney will ALWAYS get in the way.\n\nit sounds like you guys were doing a great job at being family by doing things for each other...until the furniture.\n\ni would be firm and explain that there was no agreement for payment for your wedding services or their truck services...so, all these situations are exclusive from each other.\ntell them that you guys feel you are asking a reasonable price and if they don't want it for that price, then that's o.k. and you'll find someone else!\nbe kind and courteous about it, but don't feel that you are obligated to take a financial hit for family.\n\ni would prob make a family price a little lower than i would a stranger price, but they shouldn't haggle with family...that's poor manners.\nif they can't afford it, then suck it up, explain it's out of their price range and go find something else!  \n\nif they want to throw a fit, then they are the only ones looking selfish.  you guys look like you're trying to help them by selling some furniture.\n\njust be firm and now, you know how they view favors...for the future.\n\ntake care.

You have too much money if you havent been to a certain account in 5 years, let someone else handle your money.  If it is alot of money go over there and raise hell, they will give you your money and a new account, then send me some for helping you out.  If its a little bit of money, then fughettaboutit.

if no-one gave them money, they would stop begging. They play the odds - 1 out of 10 people give them money, they will keep begging.

I have dealt with this issue ALOT because I am the first to graduate from college and BY FAR the most successful career-wise and financially in my family.  I am always telling them NO for just about everything that they ask for and the reason why is because I dont want them to rely on me each time they get THEMSELVES into a jam.    Its not my RESPONSIBILITY to bail them out.  Plus every dime I send to them takes away from what I am trying to do.  Adults have to handle their OWN business, including his family.

Try to find companies or organizations online if you do not succeed try writing to local authorities or companies providing your details. As long as i am concerned these people need to have guarantor before helping you. I think your parents or relatives can act as guarantors
