33-year-old man falsely claims his 31-year-old brother owes him $4k, only because his brother denied his desperate request for a loan: ‘There was no $4k loan, no agreement, nothing’

Mixing money and family is usually a recipe for disaster. Once you bring finances into the mix, the very kind gesture of loaning a loved one money turns into a cinderblock tied to your ankle, dragging you down until you drown in debt. It's crucial to exhaust every other avenue to relieve yourself of financial hardship, only because you never know when your favor might come back to bite you when you least expect it. Kindness is not a weakness, but signing yourself up for possible debt is. Think smarter, not harder. You know the drill.

If you've learned anything from the myriad of stories about familial drama, involving money or not, you have most likely already internalized the fact that entitled people exist everywhere. They very well might exist in your close-knit family unit, for all you know. It's only when a situation arises that forces entitled people to show their colors do you know who you have been dealing with this entire time. Making deals with the devil is dangerous and warrants further introspection…

Folks will urge you to loan your brother that measly thousands of dollars, and you decline. Aside from his financial bad luck and recurring instability, you know better than to trust anyone with that much of your money. You'd hope that your brother would understand where you're coming from. The joke would, unfortunately, be on you.

In this next story, a man declines to lend his brother cash because he isn't comfortable loaning that much money to him, given his brother's rocky financial history. Desperate times call for desperate measures, apparently. Instead of understanding, the man's brother conjures up a lie, claiming that the man owes him $4000 over the years. This way, not only is the man isolated from the rest of his family, but he is also put in a position where he has to pay for his innocence, despite having been innocent this entire time. Scroll below to read the full story, including comments from other users urging the man to go no-contact expeditiously.
