Always demanding money
Your relatives, close friends or even spouse might know how giving you can be and might take advantage of that at some point. If you experience recurring demands to give away your money, they might be trying to abuse your willingness to help.
This case happens particularly if the elder one has trouble remembering this type of situation or suffers from memory loss. It can’t get crueler than this, but it might happen.
The best thing you can do is note down everytime you give away money. Like this, you get to keep a record and remember how many times you helped someone.
