Is this bad?

My mom was in an accident a few years ago. She is just now about to recieve a big settlement. I wanted to ask her for a few thousand dollars so that I can move to Cali and begin a new life. I feel bad about asking her though. She's been through a lot and she deserves the money she is going to get.
BTW, she's getting something over $250,000.
Would it be a bad idea to ask her for money? I could eventually pay it back. So it would be more like a loan.

I woulnd't say its bad, especially if you pay it back.
Odds are she'd be more than happy to give it to you. Maybe not.

Hell no, if you're looking for only a grand or seven, ask away. If she's getting $250,000, you should be good.

I'm sure she'd be very willing to give it. I just feel bad asking her for it knowing everything she has been through to get it.

Haha, I would be all over that if my mom got that much. Borrow some for me while you're at it. I hardly have any food and can barely pay the bills without something getting shut off.

Does your mom have medical bills she has to pay? If she is going to have it around, I'd ask to borrow some. I'd also advise her to be wise with her money. She can find some 3-4 month CD's at 5% interest and could make 12 grand ever few months by sitting on her money.

yeah, medical bills might take a large chunk of that money. my dad was injured on the job at the rail road. he had to have back surgery and ended up getting between 260K-280K i never knew. but my mom told me that a lot of that would have to be paid back to the insurance company because they wouldn't pay for it twice or some shit.
or maybe they were just trying to convince me we didn't have money so i wouldn't ask for any. that sounds more likely.

Yes, she has some bills. Her insurance company paid for most of it. She has future surgery's that she will have to have done and she will need the money for that.

You should make sure your mom invests her money. CD's are a safe way to go, and I believe she could make 35-40 grand a year in interest on her money if she shops around and finds banks that offer good certificates of deposits. My mom is poor (while my dad is a multi-millionare, go figure), and my fiance's parents are poor. I hope your mom isn't like a lot of poor folk who spend money when they have it. If you are moving to California, make sure you can have someone scope out your place before you move, as there are a lot of shit holes out here.

i thought you moved to cali recently already. . . ?
my mom is in the same situation. got fuuuucked up a couple of years ago, and lawsuits abound.. now she's in for a settlement soon, but she's already offered to buy me a new computer. that's about all i could ask for anyway. she already helps me more than i need/deserve.
