<prompt> Human: Do any of you have advise when dealing with people in your life who seem to always be going through some kind of financial emergency, usually of their own making whether through their actions or inactions?  <response>: Unfortunately, which no one here has mentioned.. If you do give money even once often times not only will they NOT pay you back for the first loan... It will cause them to see you as someone they can run to in the future whenever they need emergency cash. This is a slippery slope. This happens to grandparents a lot. :
