What to do when family member keeps "borrowing" money?

Unless she tries to borrow from you, there's really nothing you can do.

One of the laws of the universe is to never loan money to relatives unless there in very dire straights. Your aunt knows a sucker when she see's one and that's why she asks and trust me, if she spends more than she makes then she most likely has no intention of ever paying any of the money back that she borrowed.

if you feel you must help family by loaning them money have them sign a note and charge them interest, and make them pay it back. if they can't or won't pay it back, don't loan them any more money. if you do you are just supporting their childishness

helping out family is a good thing to do. but you need to recognize when you aren't helping. you need to recognize when you are being taken advantage of, which is a bad thing for them to do

what will they do if they can't get free money from family? as it is their borrowing is probably already impacting the family's ability to take care of their own needs

You're right---you're just a neice and you're not involved.

Let your parents deal with this.

Remember this when family members come to you in the future asking to borrow YOUR money.

Then say "no."
