That's a big yes from me. I don't mind it cause I want to spoil my family on the holidays, but yeah they definitely expect me to go big on presents. My thing is I can't always fly out and be there the exact dates they want, my mother doesn't like hearing that I have to work instead of be with family and it's like where do you think the money is gonna come from if I don't work??
I don't necessarily think it has changed expectations from my family. More like it's changed how I treat gift-giving. I absolutely love being financially secure enough to spoil the people I love and be a blessing to them, so for me, I find this time of year special because it provides me the opportunity to do just that. I think it's all about perspective.
Pretty much! I've resigned myself to the fact that I'm spending a LOT, but what's the point of working if we don't spend?
