[QUOTE=JenTay]What is your philosophy about lending or giving money to relatives who ask?

Moreover, what if the relative is clearly broke......but continues to shop as if there is money. Clearly, there is a priority issue here. Is it my place to point it out?

IMO if they are going to ask for money, then you have the right to point out their lack of priorities. Maybe it will help them in the long run, even if it ticks them off at first.
