Step 1
Help with the course
You plan to enroll in a professional course but cannot comfortably pay the full fee. A close relative offers to cover half and says, "This is a gift, not a loan. I only want occasional updates because I care about how it goes."
The relative has helped you before, and refusing would delay the course. You appreciate the offer but are unsure whether the request for updates is a courtesy, a condition, or the beginning of a larger expectation.
