Do not share anywhere.
A family member asked her niece and nephew (my husband, that she barely talks to) for $60,000. $30,000 each to put towards a mortgage for a new condo (she's retired). My husband told me last night and I was bleeping gobsmacked. What an absolute cheek and how utterly absurd.
She claimed she was being "harassed" by her neighbour below her. He was apparently being noisy so she stomped on the floor, she then claims he spit on her car and unit door handle. We suggested she get a doorbell camera to catch him and send it to the condo board.
She decided she has to move. Well, she apparently called my SIL saying she needed $60,000 for a mortgage to get somewhere new and could she lend it to her. My SIL said no she couldn't do that and the aunt then suggested my SIL and husband split it. Well, my SIL went through my aunt's finances to see what is going on - basically the aunt was wanting a new, bigger condo and would living well beyond her means. My sil also asked what was going on with the neighbour and the aunt said it was resolved a while ago.... so why the duck is she wanting to move when it is all sorted? And my SIL asked how she knew he spits on her car. And the aunt explained well she may have shoveled snow somewhere she shouldn't (i.e. blocking someone's space) so likely pissed someone else off. FFS. Well, she soon backed off the idea of moving.
How bleeping cheeky though. Actually quite furious about it. I instantly said to my husband "absolutely not." That is a huge amount of money. We aren't god damn millionaires and we see/speak to her like once every 2 years if that. It is a fragile economy, my husband could lose his job and we could need that money.
1. This aunt also has a "partner" so if things were that bad I am sure he would let her move in with him.
2. She wasn't trying to escape a domestic violence situation. Her neighbour disliked her (but she forgot to mention things are resolved).
3. She said "well you are in my will so you will get it back." Manipulative witch.
