SHOULD I GIVE DAUGHTER IN DEBT MY CASH?

- Dear Coleen

My daughter is in her 20s and has a partner and baby. The two of them are hopeless with money and are in loads of debt.

My opinion is that they did everything too young and rushed into having a child, although they are good parents and my grandson is adorable.

My dilemma is, I’ve had a windfall and would like to give her some money because she needs it, but I’m not convinced she won’t squander it on something, rather than paying off the debt.

I’ve given her money in the past with no expectatio­ns of getting it back, but her debt just seems to grow. I’d love your advice.
