Dad Said "You're Rich, Kevin Needs Help" — I Said "Kevin Needs A Job, Not My Money

In this video: A 24-year-old software developer at Google works hard and saves money for his first apartment in San Francisco. His father Paul co-signs the lease and the son pays a $4,000 security deposit from his own signing bonus. After one year, the son wants to move to a bigger place in Palo Alto for career advancement. The father reveals that his unemployed 27-year-old brother Kevin needs the apartment and asks the son to give Kevin the $4,000 deposit as a "fresh start fund." Despite the son's protests, the father transfers the lease to Kevin's name. The son is forced to pay $9,200 out of pocket for his new apartment. Six months later, Kevin stops paying rent and faces eviction. The father refuses to help despite being co-signer. When asked about the $4,000, the father reveals Kevin invested it all in Dogecoin and lost everything in the crash. The landlord sues both the father and Kevin for $8,000. The father begs his son for help. The son refuses, saying "You gave away my money without permission, Kevin gambled it away, now deal with the consequences." Kevin files bankruptcy and moves to Texas. The father pays $400/month for 20 months. The son cuts off all family contact. Two years later, the son thrives in his career while the father still pays Kevin's debt. The son maintains his boundaries permanently.

💬 Here's my question: If your family gave away your money without permission to a sibling who then gambled it away and got evicted, would you help them pay the resulting debt? Or would you say "You created this mess, you fix it" and maintain your boundaries?
