hello all
On the same subject but a different question, regarding charity to family members, if one has a family member who just blows their money on whatever with no regard to saving for their needs, and then is broke until their next payday, and they keep coming to the rest of the family begging them for money and things they should have been able to buy if they wouldn't blow their money the day they get it, is the family obligated to support this person when they can even barely support themselves because they don't make much money but they do budget themselves at least, on a related side note, when i give to street beggars i don't ask them any questions, but i do know a lot of them have the same problem as the family member, am i being hypocritical? I try and tell the family member to budget, but they don't seem to care, (however they are fed, clothed,etc. the basic necessities) this is creating much family conflict for a long time, any advice would be very appreciated, shalom and thank you!
