Story time? No worries if its too personal to share, though.

Nah I don't mind.

He's been in and out of prison for much of his adult life, for various offenses. Nothing crazy like rape or murder, just shit like selling drugs and robbing people.

He's got a few kids and I used to help him out a ton, but one day I caught him in a lie when he hit me up for some cash to get some gear for my nephew to play football. I asked my nephew how he's enjoying football and he looked confused and said he's not playing football lol

Shortly after that my brother got picked up again and I decided I'd had enough. If he's going to keep going to jail I'm basically burning money when I give it to him.

Crazy thing is, if he hadn't lied to me I'd probably still be giving him money. He could've told me he was going to buy weed with it for all I care. My thinking has always been that if it helps him, even if it's for something stupid like weed, that's one less thing that he might get desparate for money for and maybe that will be enough to keep him on the right path.

Funny enough, that was the last time he went to jail. When he got out he asked me for money a few times but I refused. He's been working in concrete and doing odd jobs since. As far as I know he's not fucking up but I don't talk to him much anymore so

My younger brother is the total opposite. He's broke as fuck too but he'll eat Ramen for 6 months straight before asking me for money. And he'll make an effort to pay me back when he does ask for help
