Families: Finances: Giving a Helping Hand
(3 of 3)
Of course, not every family loan is a disaster. In the best of circumstances, such transactions can benefit everyone involved. "If all goes well, then it's a win-win situation," says Gurney. "You've helped a family member, and they've proved their trustworthiness. Still, you should go into any of these loans with your eyes wide open. The primary currency in a family is love and support. When you lend money, you're risking losing these."
Jusseaume says his lending experience has brought him closer to his family. "If a loan is handled in a businesslike fashion with a real spirit of giving, only good can come of it," he says. "My nieces and nephews are extremely appreciative, and they're finally in a position where they don't have to worry about saving for a down payment." They also know they have family they can count on.
