your policy is correct....
only give them the money if you can afford to never get it back and thats okay with you.
And it sounds like doing that wont fix anything long term.

What is your policy on lending family members money? I’ve loaned family members

If you can afford it, I might go ahead and "loan" the money.

A few questions:
a priori
12/23/19 1:22pm
Never lend. Have given before.

Yea I would/have done.. but the concept of so many stay at home moms

Yeah I agree, all the kids are out of the house there is no reason my mother in

I've always heard that you should never loan family $. Just give it.

But what if you don't want to give it?
Superkid
12/23/19 1:24pm
Then don't. I think if you would loan it, just give it. If you wouldn't let an it, don't give.
Ragnar Danneskjold
12/23/19 1:25pm
Yeah. I probably wouldn't.
Superkid

If family asked if they could borrow $, I think my reply would be "I was about to ask you the same thing!"
Ragnar Danneskjold
12/23/19 1:27pm
Then don't give it.

I think the poster is correct where you need to view it as a gift

That's a tough question.
Eddie

I have only loaned family when they are doing well financially. Otherwise it is a gift.

Is this something the church can help them out with? Or would that lead down a

The church wants family to go first right?
JollyGreenGiant

It would lead them to having to maybe help clean the church building
BigTex

That sounds like it would be good for them.

Family should always be the first source of help before

I disagree. If they've paid tithing, the church is more able to help than anyone
BrobaFett
12/23/19 1:35pm
The church disagrees with you.
displacedute
12/23/19 1:45pm
Agreed. Elder Ballard in the video “Sacred Funds, Sacred Responsibilities”
DrTeeth
12/23/19 1:50pm
Yeah, well, I guess we will agree to disagree.
BrobaFett
12/23/19 1:56pm
The church disagrees with you, not me.

From Handbook 2 Section 6.1.1
a priori
12/23/19 2:13pm
Agree. If true tithing payers than the church needs to be step up first imo

Have never seen "Personal rainy day fund" on the Church donation slips.

My biggest concern is what happens 30 days later?
BrobaFett

The church teaches to go to family before the church

If they go to the kids and the kids pay, have they improved?

Family isn’t always the best route for sure
D.T. Survivor
12/23/19 1:41pm
That's what I worry about. With their parents owing so much back rent
BrobaFett

I think it's important to note that the church handbook says...

FIL isn’t a member, mom isn’t active. I don’t know that I would encourage them
Nuke
12/23/19 1:37pm
I don't know. It's a tough thing for sure.

"sole purpose"?

I did a loan of a reasonably large sum to my brother about 10 years ago.

If you can afford it, give rent through January with heavy strings attached.

This is why the church encourages members to go to family first.

You can give but 99% chance you would get a loan back in that situation.

I cosigned for my sister once. Yeah I lost out on some money. Didn't feel too

Our philosophy for our kids is relevant here: "we help kids who help themselves"

Never loan, but always give if I can.

I've never loaned any money - but I've helped a lot of family.

I don't loan family money, but I do give it if they need it.

If you loan or gift any money, pay their debt directly.
CougarThug

If you can even marginally afford it, just pay there the rent for them. I don’t
