When couples disagree on using emergency savings to help family members affected by disaster

My wife and I disagree about whether to use our emergency fund to help her sister's family recover from the hurricane or to keep it for our own protection since we live in the same area and could be next. We both want to be good family members but we're scared about different things and we keep having the same circular argument about obligation versus prudence.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The tension between family loyalty and personal security is creating a values conflict that reveals different assumptions about risk and responsibility.
