Family Banker

Mongoose,
I recently loaned my sister $300 to get her car fixed. At least that's what she said. It's been nearly 6 months and she hasn't fixed her car and instead, just drives her boyfriend's car. With it getting close to Christmas, I could really use that money, but do I just forget it at this point?

Dear Family Bank & Rust,
I once loaned someone (who will not be named) $2 in 3rd grade, still waiting on it.  He said he needed it for the field trip to Mammoth Cave that day and I watched that sucker buy 3 souvenirs from the gift shop.   I don’t know your sister but it sounds like her and the $2 bandit are a lot alike. I wouldn’t count on getting your money back and I sure as heck wouldn’t buy her a Christmas present this year.  You could get her a card though, “Merry Christmas!  I didn’t get you anything because you owe me $300.  Love, Your Favorite Family Banker."
