You've always told your nephew that when the time comes, you'll help him buy his first car.
He just got his license.
You write him a check for $3,000 and hand it to your sister, explaining that he can only buy the car his mother approves of and once she has approved...she will guide him in buying the car.
A week later your nephew calls you enraged.
Your sister gave him her old car (probably worth about three grand) and used the $3k to put a down payment on a new car for her.
You good?
