I am 18 years old, I just graduated high school this year. About a month and a half ago my grandmother called me and she asked me for $3500. It was a huge ask for me, I’ve never let anybody borrow that much money for me before but she told me that she had some tax refund coming within the next week and she was going to pay me back in a week. She also told me that she would pay me back more than she brought for me, and I thought that would be great because the money I let her borrow with the money that I had saved for my car. I am getting ready to start college next week and I was planning on getting a car because I have no other transportation. It has been over a month and my grandma has not paid me back. I have been getting more frustrated overtime, because I was supposed to have my car by now. There are things that I need to pay for, especially that I am not about to start college and this is a huge issue for me. I told my mother(my grandma’s daughter) about the situation and she acts like it’s not a big deal. I love my grandmother but this is completely unacceptable and I need my money back. I don’t even think she has it. I don’t want to mess up my relationship with her but this is a lot of money and the only way that I think I could get it back as if I was to take her to the Small Claims Court. Please, I need advice

I am an 18 year-old female, I just graduated high school school this June. Last month my grandmother asked me a very HUGE favor, she asked me if she could borrow $3500. I was promised that she would pay me back the next week. It has been more than a month, and I have not gotten my money back. I told my mother (my grandmother’s daughter) about it, and she is acting like it’s not a very big deal. The money that I let my grandmother borrow was for my car, the car that I was saving for my transportation for college. I am about to start and I still have not been able to get my car because my grandmother has not paid me back. I have no clue when I’m going to be paid back and I have been calling her almost every day asking for my money because it has been more than a month since I have let her borrow it. She also acts like it’s not a big deal and I guess it was very dumb of me to let her borrow all of that money from me. But I have a very close relationship with my grandmother, and I trusted her that is why I decided to let her borrow it. I don’t want to ruin my relationship with my grandmother but at this point I really need my money back and I have no clue if I’m going to get it back anytime soon.
