Is it okay with an idea of seeking financial help from your ex relatives?

Hello guys it is inevitable (sometimes) you ran out of money especially during time of emergency. In my case, this is related to what I posted a minute ago about making us vacate immediately within just this week. We need obviously of cash to spend for the sudden situation. Indeed we have but not enough for the allocated budget. I was wondering if it would just be fine if I would ask (lend) cash from one of my ex GF relatives. By the way, we're so close before when "we were" long time ago. We have still communication with some of their relatives until now. What's your idea my friends, your suggestions is highly appreciated. Mobhomeir here 052712 1857hrs

I guess you have to do what you have to do. Just make sure you pay them back so there is no hard feelings. It must be hard to be friends with your exes parents/family. But just because you're broken up with the girl doesn't mean you and her family cant' still be friends - can it? Best advice, on your question, is to be quite wary of who you borrow money from. I try to avoid it at ALL costs - I'd rather go completely broke than be in debt to someone - you never know what that person will be like once you borrow money from them. And you don't want to spoil your friendship over it, that's for sure.

Hi maezee you're right I agree with you. But, it can't really avoided especially when you will be pressured and you don't have other sources but your friends. If I could just turn back the time, I would never ask money from my friends because lending money and having a problem of the payments could cause grudges between friends...thanks for responding anyway my friend..

A lot of people now take advantages with the person having troubles or having debts in their debtor. some people make them do things that are contrary to their beliefs or something they simply they didn't want to do. he has to be careful borrowing money, some people you know but you know them at the tip of the ice berg.

Hi.. even if you used to be so close with your ex-gf, i strongly advise "no." Dont borrow from people, borrow from banks instead.

Bank? I never ever borrowed money from the bank. I only had a depository account. Besides I don't know what would be the process and I only wanted a small amount. Thanks for responding my friend.. Mobhomeir here 060212 1045hrs

Hello Mobhomeir, That is really sad, Can they just give you like two weeks or something just to move out? because this is horrible to boot. personally i don't know what to think because this is about getting help from different people. besides, i don't know if your close to them or not, getting financial help isn't easy now a days

If you're asking the status of our relationship, no question ask my friend because we still have a very good relationship. I was wondering if it would just be fine if I would ask financial from them. Well, thanks a lot for responding.. Mobhomeir here 060212 1115hrs

Test friendship with borrowing money. - IF they borrow any amount to your ,means that they are in good friends.
I guess it is ok , since they are close to your and as friends, it is time to check their friendship whether it is genuine or not by asking the loan , even if they can loan a small amount , according their ability this show their friendship level alraedy. Hopely your will not betray that trust and return the loan in due time. Personally i don like relatives, however for your case , your can consider them as friends.

I can't say no since my ex helped me out lately and I won't pay him back since he owns me a lot. We have no further contact, we are not good friends, plus I don't talk to him personally or call him, I only use his email in emergency. He will never pay me a visit or I will pay him a visit. I don't know why you need that money but if you do believe there is someone who wants to give it to you, or borrow it to you you only should ask yourself this: do I really need that money now, am I able to pay it back, what are the concequences if I am NOT able to pay it back or if I do ask for this money. Is there a price you have to pay for it (we mostly have) and am I willing to pay that price?

Oh I see, I think in your case, it has no malice at all. On my case I would never ask any assistance from my ex relative if I would have another resources. I am badly needed of money for some urgent purpose, I have no other sources but only to this person. In face he responded me already. I was just hesitant to confirm. Thanks anyway for responding...

I don't know. It depends on the relationship you have with those relatives. I don't know your situation, as every one is different. How did the relationship end? If it's something the ex did, and their relatives know it's the ex's fault, then they may still be friends with the other partner. However, if it was not the ex's fault, then the relatives may hold a grudge. Or I may be wrong about the whole thing, because once again, I don't know the whole story.

The only goal to be gained by asking for financial help from an ex relative is thaat you may get the help. The only fall back would be that ex relatives are more likely to talk about you and the help they gave you to everyone they know. It can lead to embarrass for you just for a little bit of finacial relief. I would fond it best to consider another source before going to ex relatives. If it is all that you havem please take care.

Yes my friend it is really an embarrassment on my part to the side of my ex but I reminded the particular friend not to tell anyone. I don't know, how would I do it...I am confused and don't know yet what to do... Thanks for responding my friend.. Mobhomeir here 060212 1106hrs

hi, it will depend on the relative you have,because in my experienced i have an auntie who really have many money but she is very frugal in her relative but if her friends or co-church will lend some money she will,i dont know why she dont like to lend money on us though we can pay her.
