Some people always seem to find trouble no matter how much help they get.

AITA don’t want to pay for my brother in law’s car accident

My BIL is an idiot. Always struggling with money.

But also always buying crap he can’t afford.

His latest financial decision left him scratching his head yet again.

He bought a Tesla with like a 10% interest rate so he could drive for Uber.

He got in a car accident (he’s fine), but the car was totaled, and he can’t drive for a while.

His wife has a soft spot for him and wants to help out, but he doesn’t think their hard-earned money should go towards bailing him out again.

My wife wants to help pay for his bills, and I don’t.

We do okay, but it’s because we work our butts off. And it’s not like we really have extra.

I should add we gave him money before as a loan he never paid back.

AITA?

With a track record this bad, few people could blame this man for hesitating to front the cost.
