Uncle celticninja: "But celticninja you make so much money and I'm on a fixed income, can't you just loan me some, remember when I got you that hot wheel when you were six?"

I told my dad what I made, he messed up and told my mom, my mom told her brother and now this guy I haven't seen in a couple of decades is begging me for money.

He showed up at my house once to beg and then got mad because he had spent the last of his money on gas to drive to my house to ask for money.

Tell the guy that your dad and mom are rich, and eventually become soft touches if someone is really persistent about asking them for money. :|

This is what I don’t get - lots of people resist just saying no. If you’re well off financially and someone refuses to hear your answer then you’re in a proper position to exile family members. The only thing stopping you from exiling them is yourself.

Cut toxic people out of your life!
