Is anyone else's family WAY too interested in what you're earning? I'm dreading Thanksgiving next week, because somehow the topic of what I do and how much money I'm earning comes up. I try to play it off and never give a figure but certain family members take this as a cue to hit me up for some cash for the "holidays."

Tell them about large unexpected bills or taxes. Then ask them for money. They will stop.

Yep… I make 500k TC now and when they’ve asked I say 180… enough to be doing fine but no where near excess wealth building money

Also want to add that when a sibling ask me to borrow 5K, it was much more appreciated than if they thought I was making 500K

Sounds like it’s a one time thing and needed. Glad you are in a position to help!
