Over the past several years, the tiny house movement has only gained momentum, with increasing numbers of homeowners saying goodbye to extra square footage—and burdensome mortgages—in favor of very small, quite affordable, and often portable dwellings that have come to be not-so-creatively called tiny homes. Some choose to build their own, designing every inch to meet their individual needs. Others hire a builder to realize their custom design in three dimensions. And still others purchase kits or preassembled tiny homes from the growing cadre of manufacturers who are servicing this rapidly expanding "cottage" industry. Enter Portland, Oregon-based Tiny Heirloom, the first luxury-oriented company to enter the market.

So what are the top 5 things you need to ask yourself before helping out a loved one? Well, first you need to make sure that you can bail out a family member without sinking your own boat. Borrowing from your retirement fund to pay for a loved one can put you in long term trouble or at immediate risk in an emergency. So make sure your financial well being comes first. If you're giving a gift, does it have strings attached? To make sure that financial gifts don't generate resentment you need to be clear on how spending it can make you happy. If you're feeling hesitant to give, it may not be the best move. If the gift is a loan you should set a repayment schedule from the beginning and stick with it. If the money isn't paid back it can destroy a relationship so your plan and terms shouldn't be based on trial and error.
