Damn right. Tell em that.

Or if you do decide to give, just make sure it's an amount that you willing to charge to the game if you don't get repaid. That's huge. Pause.

yeah...that's true...master p said he "loans" money to family to get rid of them. He knows it ain't coming back but they'll be ducking him forever...he said the piece of mind is worth it lol.

Yet people were dead ass trying to explain why dinner with Jay Z was more valuable than 4,800 :russ:

And I would have just given him the 4,800 in that situation. Not about to make excuses about shyt adding up and all that other fukkery. Thanks giving isn't everyday and 4,800 could be lost to rounding at his level of wealth.

That's one of the reasons I keep my black ass where I'm at in Georgia vs moving back home to Charleston where all of our family primarily is. The type of crib we have in GA and moving back home in a similar spot would have nikkaz thinking we George and Weezy and shyt. Nobody got time for that shyt. It's irritating as fukk. Some of my college homies in a similar space where they are seen as the "rich" family members and their fam stay hitting them up for bread. Multiply that shyt 10000x for Jay.

only exception are our parents. And even then, I kept that shyt in check for my parents before my dad passed as I didn't wanna step on his toes.

Bmore stand up!
I wouldn’t let ANYONE abuse my wallet/bank account…. BUT if it’s a family member who I’m in good standings with, whom I actually care about and cherish, then why not? I’m a BILLIONAIRE…. now, they definitely have a limit in what they can ask me for and how many times they can ask me…. And if I get the feeling they are trying to milk me JUST ONCE, shop is closed for good. And in most cases I would only give them money if they had an actually business plan drawn up that I have my associates and lawyers look over or if they need help paying rent or something like that. Other than that, I’m just gonna keep my money.

asking a parent or a sibling for money is normal, whether they rich or not.

Cousins and other extended family, nah. You just take pride in your uncle or whomever being successful, and at most maybe expect them to give a better wedding gift than everybody you invite to the wedding.

Think about it, how often do people normally borrow money from cousins normally? i got hand me downs from my cousins never any money. Maybe family discount if they happened to work in a store i was shopping in.

Edit: i will give a pass if the cousin you ask for money is also a legit friend. like a play cousin you hang out with all the time. but not some i see them once a year at the family reunion or thanksgiving type cousin.
