Showing Original Post only (View all)Sister wanted me to co-sign a 20k loan [View all]
I didn't offer. I'm disabled on SSDI. Now she's not speaking to me. I did the right thing for myself. It would be for my very very entitled 24-yr-old niece whos on a career track to earn a large salary. My niece is not in my life and we have no contact.
