Money can cause a lot of issues. Though just a piece of little green paper, money makes the world go round (or, it makes the world stop spinning). We all bow down to the dollar because it's what we use to acquire things—food, housing, trips to the Maldives—you name it!
Lending money to people is a bit daunting when you're unsure of if they'll ever be able to give it back to you. It's one thing if you give someone money without expecting repayment, but when you come to an agreement with the borrower and become someone's makeshift loan shark, you want that money back as soon as possible.
With family, lending money becomes a bit tricky. You don't want to breathe down your relative's neck and you hope they are literally good for the money, but stories like the one you're about to read prove that even relatives might try to pull a fast one on you. No one wants to micromanage someone else's wallet, but if their wallet was once full because of you, you have every right to demand the money you lent them—no interest, just give me my money!
