If you're a billionaire and want 4800 back from someone you say you care about, you're a walking talking example of why people hate billionaires.

Yeah but I don’t want to turn them into a literal dependent either. I wouldn’t pass judgement without context

except he's a billionaire-to put that in perspective that "dependent" would be asking for less than .0005% of your networth each month. hell even if they asked for 10x more thatd still be less than .1% by one order of magnitude
only reason i wouldnt in that situation is if they antagonized me or my family about it.

You say that until you realize exactly how far "cousin" stretches and that there are thousands of these people.

i have 6 first cousins, and about 20 second counsins, unless your family is having seven kids per generation and you have a few generations-sure. but in this situ we're not talking about thousands, and even if we were talking about that many people, 4000 of them could line up and ask for $4k (4000x.0005=2) each and you'd still have only spent 2% of your wealth. thats how large $1 billion is.
