Re: Ever done a "personal financial intervention?"
It might be hard to give a financial intervention if the person did not ask for any money. An opportune time may be as you are writing out the check and handing it over to suggest something about finances (although in this situation she is certainly concerned over her cat).
CCCS may still do just budget counseling for very low to no cost for a person (you can check your local chapter).
I do know if a person is stressed over finances that to suggest something can backfire, but if you are in the act of helping out and suggest something during the time they have to act more receptive.
Finances can be such a touchy subject.
