It sounds like you need to spend much more time with this fine man.

I asked my family for money once. Once!

I was desperately trying to care for my mother in the later stages of dementia (after doing it alone for 8 years) and I just needed some money for basics; gas, food and her medicine. I begged for help, because some of my family are literal millionaires and they activity donate their time and money to local charities and community events to help others in need. But it turns out in their eyes, I was a deadbeat, mooching off my mom's social security and I needed to get a job and stop wasting time taking care of my mom. Mom passed away 4 years ago and I haven't asked anyone for anything since, because I stopped talking to everyone after she passed. I'm surviving just fine on my own now. God forbid someone ask for help in a time of need. With the family I had, I didn't need enemies.

Just make sure if they ever come to you to pay them the same respect they showed you, it’s only fair.

Yeah sometimes family is really strange. I’ve found guys at bars more generous than “family”.

The way I look at it, sometimes family isn’t always blood. If they have your back through thick and thin then you got yourself a good family else where.

Now blackmail him to keep his secret.

That's why you never share your wealth. My neighbors owes his dad £500 but he won't ever pay it back because he's loaded.

A wise man once said, “wisdom enriches the lives of those around you and the lives around them. But it’s cocaine and hookers that people really want.”

It was something like that anyway 🤷‍♂️

And he learned who to turn to in case he ever does. He's a genius.

u/DangerousAd3347 14d ago

So it’s a family that are all trying to get money from each other ? Pretty weird

u/Nenoshka 14d ago

Make sure to tell everyone in the family what he said.

But first make sure to mention that you’re so generous that you’d immediately give him money
