Hi Fishes,

Slight offtopic:

My younger brother seems to be very miser(kanjus) and he spends very less money. My problem with him is he doesn't do anything to the family (like buying/gifting something to parents occasionally).

Me on the other hand spends some money or gift something to the family etc..

He is only 25 and earning 35k per month only, but spending atleast 2k in some important occasions is not a big thing right? And also it is not like he doesn't like his...(continued in comments)

Two sides to this predicament -
1. - Kanjoosi is a trait. I doubt he will change that.
2. - On the other hand, talk to him, is he saving that money for some reason as in future studies or want to be self sufficient as in buying an apartment or house and a car. Or marriage.
Bhai ha, baat karlo, else if you think it's not something worth discussing then you do what he does for you. Bas.

...family. When it comes to money he doesn't spend at all ( interestingly he spends on his cosmetics/accessories). Do you have siblings like this? Am I just over reacting and over expecting from him? Do you guys think I need to talk to him about this or leave him alone?

Probably he is saving for something as 35k is bit less these days. But if he behaves the same even after earning lot more, then he definitely is. Guys generally spend less on themselves & lot more on family.
