His Sister Wanted Him To Take Money Out of His 401k To Fund Her Visit To Mexico
This 25-year-old man has a 27-year-old sister who has three kids. She has a 9-year-old son, a 3-year-old daughter, and, most recently, another son– who is now 7 months old.
However, the father of his sister’s first two kids was a drug addict who died following an overdose.
And while he understood his sister’s grief at the time, he admitted to being relieved that the guy was no longer in her life.
But, after the father of his sister’s two eldest children passed away, a different guy reportedly “swooped in” while his sister was still grieving the loss.
“Since she already had some emotional and mental damage from her original relationship, I could see why she easily fell for this new guy,” he revealed.
First, his sister and her new partner lived together for just a few months. Then, she became pregnant, and the father of her third child decided to move to Mexico in order to “get clean.”
Afterward, the guy actually denied being the father of his sister’s third child before ghosting his sister entirely!
So, it was not until recently that the guy re-entered the picture and came back into his sister’s life.
However, before that happened, his sister wanted to throw his niece and nephew a massive party that followed their Mexican traditions. Usually, these types of parties cost a ton of money, too.

In addition to the party, his sister also decided that she wanted to travel down to Mexico to meet up with the guy and have him meet his son. That’s why, two days ago, he received a call from his sister– who asked him to do him a favor.
According to him, his sister made the request with such “ease” that he thought the favor would be something simple. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t.
His sister actually asked if he could take money out of his 401k since she does not have enough money saved up for all of her plans. Still, he claimed he would think about it.
He detailed how, in the past, his sister had lent him a large sum of money– mainly when he hit a rough patch during college while working as a server.
He also has a decent-paying job now for someone his age, so he had never turned anyone down when they asked to borrow anything– including money. He has since paid his sister back for all of the money he borrowed back in college. He also claimed that he isn’t a pushover and really didn’t think anyone would ever make such a request.
“So I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to take out any money from my 401k to lend my sister for a party and, indirectly, for her to visit this guy,” he admitted.
That’s why he ultimately decided to turn his sister down. And now, he’s wondering whether refusing to lend his sister money from his 401k makes him a jerk.
Would you ever ask someone to take money out of their 401k for you? Do you think he had a right to say no? What would you have done in this situation?
