I just want to say that people who think their choices don't affect others are ignorant, or just plain dumb.
If you have family that loves you, and you do something dumb and get into a bind, your loved ones will feel obligated to help you in this time of need. This is generally a good thing as we should help one another, however, STOP DOING IT WILLINGLY.
My brother has made many dumb choices like bouncing a 20$ check buying pizza and made another dumb choice by not paying for that. A year or so later he went to help get a friends car out of impound. They ran his ID, and he was arrested on the spot. He had a warrant because of the bounced check. My aunt had to give him 600$, or he would have lost his job, and he was the only income for a household of 6. He never paid them back.
Later he was driving reckless(all his life), and he got a crazy ticket coming to visit my parents. 80 in a 55. The ticket ended up being 500$. He kept putting that off and was about to loose his license,which could result in losing his job. I forwarded him the money (I couldn't stand seeing the kids suffer more by him losing a job), and THE DAY he was going to pay me back with a tax refund the engine in the car I sold him--And he only paid half for...I had to forgive the rest to avoid more family issues--blew up. I didn't have the heart to take the money. So he went out and bought a 15k$ brand new Hyundai with 27% interest because of his horrible credit.
Sorry, I'll stop now. Just know your choices do affect those around you if you have people who care about you. Stop being a burden, and choose to be a blessing! Make wise choices!

), and my dad took it over when he got married. The idea was as long as he paid the bill on the card my mom was ok with it. I guess it was a "wedding gift" kinda deal. My dad turned it into a 5yr fixed loan and paid every dime. My brother has given him MAYBE 500$ over the years, but at the same time, my dad has given him money to rent a place as well as helped in other ways. He isn't purposing trying to do wrong, he just doesn't think things through.
