<prompt> Human: So my parents are pretty bad with money and never saved any. In October my dad lost his job mom didnt work and they had no income. They literally only had one months money saved up. From unemployment and credit lines they managed to pay rent through january. In the end of March they hadnt payed February or Marchs rent and were about to get evicted but a family friend stepped in and paid it for them as a gift. The way things are now they probably wouldnt be evicted until the end of May. My dad got a job making about 200k and starts mid-May. Rent is about 1700. Theres a few other things that need to be payed but rent is the most important. He gets his base salary starting in June 5k but the commision will be an extra month. I live with them currently but am leaving for school in August so I would definitely need to be paid back by them as most of the money is saved for things for school. I have about 4200 that is available Ie. not emebergy fund or next months money.Also, if loaning them the money is the best thing to do, how do I do it with my security in mind as well as being delicate? And no, I cant afford to give them the money, but it wouldnt be the end of the world either.TL;DR: They need money for rent. I have it. He gets payed in June.  <response>: Never loan money out to family or friends unless you dont expect it back.If youre having trouble saying no, consider what it would be like trying to collect on the amount you need for your education.
