Last week I finally told my brother I couldn't loan him any more money
My brother hit me up last Tuesday asking for $400 to cover his rent. I've given him about $2,000 total over the past year and he never pays me back. He always has some story about a car repair or a bill that came out of nowhere. Last time he promised to pay me within two weeks and that was three months ago. I just said no this time and told him I couldn't keep doing it. He got real quiet on the phone and then said I was being selfish. It felt awful in the moment but honestly I slept better that night than I have in weeks. Has anyone else had a family member turn on you after you set a money boundary?

Honestly, good for you. And @alice121, I don't think he'll just 'get over it' - setting boundaries with family is tough but necessary for your own sanity.

Wait, is one no really gonna wreck your whole relationship with him or is that a bit dramatic?
