Let's say you have 4k in savings... [I Ramble]

And you're going to use it to move away to another country and stay with someone while you get your life together.

But a relative knows you have that amount and they want to borrow it to buy their own stuff/pay bills.

Are you obligated to give it to them? Or is it okay to say, "No, that's my savings to move with."

* This is a serious question btw... 😥

Ah, I have more than 4k, but currently I'm using it to buy a house. However, I do feel the urge to pay off the immediate bills my mom and sister have.

I think there will be time to do that in the future. I don't feel the need to spend it on someone that's NOT family. Maybe I will one day.

I'm not obligated to give it to them, but I am to help out here and there, but thankfully they know what I'm trying to do with my savings and are very supportive.

Lastly, THANKFULLY they can take care of themselves. I can't imaagine having to take care of debt for siblings. I'm sure there's many dealing with that issue.
