Before, we don't have money. We couldn't help anyone. Now, we can earn much more before. So, we try to help our parents and grandparents a little amount. However, our relatives begin to rumor that we're rich, we have much money. Many people call us to ask to borrow money. They also begin to critic who don't help our grandparents! So frustrating! My husband feel stress. He said that no money is suffering, but much money is more suffering!

That's right. It's strange because some people think they have to be cared for and enjoy the things that are not themselves make.

Don't worry too much what other people are saying. You can see that in whatever situations people will still be talking so there is really no difference whether you are rich or you are not. Just making sure that we always do the right thing. When we are in the right, whatever people say will just be meaningless noises.

Maybe I should do what you said. We can't satisfy all people, right?

I'm too. I always feel worry about finance. I would like to save some amount for rainy days.

hi there tkonlinevn,
based on what you have posted, it only shows that you cannot really please those people around you. in either way, they will gonna throw their unsolicited comments that will somehow result in not so good effect. indeed, this situation cannot be avoided although you are doing your best. anyway, as far as i believed, having a long rope of patience is really the best move to do.

Maybe you're right. Maybe you can't believe that I love them. Because they're my relatives. I'm ready to help them when they need. But I don't like that they treat us as we're a treasure!

It can be very stressful when people ask us for money, and we feel guilty. You need to think of yourself first. Pay your bills, and if you have any extra then you can give to those close to you. But many just want the money and will miuse as long as possible, in the end you will be hurt.

I think so. At present, we must rent house and have not just had baby. We need to care our life first. We have tried to help our parents and we must do this more and more. We can't give what we don't have, right?

I agree with you that money is so stressful. We'll be stress without it. But we'll stress if we have much money, too. We need to learn how to treat well with money, right?

"Mo' money, mo' problems". That is so true, my friend. But I think it depends on how you communicate it to your other relatives. Jealousy is the reason why they're acting like that. Anyone who has more money will suddenly become a magnet for relatives even though these relatives didn't really care for your family in the past.

Maybe you're right. However, my husband didn't think about this issue. So, he feels shock! He feels stress.

Nahhh..there's always someone who's not happy with your success so don't stress yourself with these people. We cannot help it, it's human's nature envious and jealous. Unfortunately some of them can't hold back their feelings and would do something to bring you down. My advice; just stay away from these people.

We can't do that. They're our relatives. We still see them at special occasion. But the problem is from my husband. He feels worry when he can't lend money them.
