yes, my biggest gift to my parents is to be successful beyond their dreams for me. I did that for them before they died. I was lucky enough to have a job that let me fly home and take of them when they were dying, my father of cancer and my mother of COPD. They were happy for me, knowing they could die in peace knowing I could take care of myself and my siblings. My father was a welder, my mother cleaned houses, hotel rooms, sold Avon, anything to bring in money to send us to the best schools. Each of my siblings put themselves through college, including myself.

Does anyone have family members who constantly demand money because they feel like you’re rich now because you’re a lawyer?

I’ve given a detailed summary of all of my expenses yet every month one family member in particular comes to me for rent money (not some, the full amount, and they refuse to get a job).
