I get a call from my mom, who i can tell has been crying. She tells me that my sis needs $500 for school TOMORROW, and that she will need 2 post dated checks for the other half, to even get registered.
I call sis, who is boo hooing her eyes out. she tells me that she went to register and FASFA has changed. So basically she has no financial aid. She was supposed to fill out a 19pg survey and some other things, none of which she was aware. She tells me that she doesn't have the money to pay me back, or the money to get books. If she doesn't take certain classes this semester she will be set back an entire year of school. So she will be going 9 years instead of 8. I couldn't let that happen, I want her to be successful.
I don't mind lending mom, or sis the money. I have enough to cover it in savings. It is just giving me a little panic attack because what if something comes up and I don't have it. It seems like smooth sailing then BAM something hits you from left field. Also, DH is neurotic about money, when I told him about the situation, I didnt ask I just told him what I was doing. But I just KNOW that I'm going to have to hear about it later. UGH.
