<prompt> Human: Im 22 years old working as an engineer making 70k and my mom is now 38. We havent had much of a connection because she disappeared when I was very young. Shes decided to come back into my and my sisters lives a few years ago. She has never had a credit card in her name because her husband has put their lines of credit in his name. Consequently, she has no credit history. I know this because we just checked on credit karma.She has had her fair amount of financial trouble and I am a little nervous about putting my name on a line of credit that she is going to use. At the same time, I want her to be able to build her credit. Shes been getting credit card offers from her bank for a while and finally filled one out in just her name. If she doesnt get accepted, I feel like theres going to be a lot of pressure on me to go through with this.I know this is not the average situation, but how badly can I get screwed here if it goes wrong?  <response>: She has had her fair amount of financial trouble and I am a little nervous about putting my name on a line of credit that she is going to use.Do. Not. Do. This.Help her set up a secured card if she doesnt get a regular card. I know this is not the average situation, but how badly can I get screwed here if it goes wrong?She could rack up a ton of debt and you would be completely responsible for that debt. I get that your relationship is relatively new still, but dont let that be the reason you put yourself in a bad financial position.
