No House Down-Payment for Dream Wedding Niece?
Uncle ‘BluntSpeakingUncle’ finds himself in a tough spot when his niece, Sierra, who recently had a $35,000 dream wedding, asks him for a down-payment on a house. He and his wife live within their means, and they offered their own children a choice between a dream wedding or a lake house wedding with the balance going towards a house down-payment. All three of their children chose the latter, becoming homeowners. However, Sierra wanted her wedding to be ‘better than theirs.’ When she finally asks her uncle for the down-payment, he bluntly refuses, stating that he won’t reward her foolish decision. Sierra leaves in tears, and while the family agrees with the uncle’s decision, they think he could’ve been less blunt. Was he too harsh, or was he just being honest? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation… ️
