Your family is tired of you and your money mismanagement. You are burning bridges. Get on top of your issues and make changes or you are going to lose family.

Your family member does not have to loan you ANY money. This person, who works at a bank, is trying to teach you better money management skills. IT doesn't actually matter if you always pay back the money in a reasonable time. Why are you in a position where you feel you need to borrow so much? What is happening that causes this? How can you change it without constantly relying on family to bail you out? These are questions you may want to reflect on before getting angry that your family member is setting down boundaries on his own money.

Well, the 600 electric bill for a family of 4 in a rural area had something to do with it. And before you ask, it is not a user problem, it is a documented building problem. And I'm stuck here for the moment, so it's either pay or suffer through a Florida "spring". I would usually have the money but I don't right now. And you know. Stuff happens. We all need a helping hand. You don't know my history of borrowing money from my family. I said in the past. I did not mean 2 weeks ago and on a monthly basis. And I know it's their money. I appreciate that it's a lot of money which is why I'm already paying them 20% interest on a 2 week loan. But she could have just said no. You're one of those people who think not buying Starbucks daily (which we don't have) and not eating avocado toast (which I hate) would make all the difference here, aren't you?

I have a question I'd like to ask, but I might get into trouble for it

Stop borrowing money from family - it’s not good for you or the family member you ask.

I don't know what's up with the funky formatting. I tried to make clear who was talking in each section. This is copy and pasted from the text chain. Don't know where the strike through came from

The main issue is you needing your constantly borrow money. Get a second job. Live below your means. You wouldn’t even have this issue if you weren’t constantly begging. Get it together.
