Beware of Bailouts

While offering financial assistance to a family member can provide them with much needed relief from stress, beware of bailouts! If you’ve previously assisted a family member, it’s essential to evaluate whether your help is effective or if it reinforces financial dependency. While providing monetary support is one way to assist, there are other ways to help loved ones without directly giving them any money.
