Used to make about $4000 a month, (quit due to health issues and wanting to finish my degree) and I had “friends” and family always bugging me to pay for dinner or help them with rent. Had one friend who was always uncomfortable with me spending money on him and when he was in a tight spot and was refusing help I bailed him out. He recently got a great job and has now been returning the favor, always referring to the time I helped him when I protest. That’s a true friend
Glam metal worker, and I wasn’t studying at the time so I could work 40+ hours a week but left to go to school again, felt like the job was killing me honestly
I have a older step-cousin who is in college and has a pretty fancy part time job, he works as a secretary in some fancy building for 4 hours a day. He makes about 5,000 every 2 months, actually quite a ton. A lot of the family is helping with his bills and tuition.
My best friend died when she was 17. On my birthday her single mother decided to give me the money that was in my best friends bank account. It was about 1000 dollars. It was gone in a week because my parents forced me to take it out of the bank so they could pay their bills. They told me they would give it back and I wouldn't notice it was gone. It's been 3 years.
you should really try and guilt trip your parent about that idk if you can bc that sounds like typical narcissistic behavior . that fact that they used your dead friends money to pay off their bills forcing you to take out the money is just awful.
@@yellowishgreendragon.-. Yea, my suggestion is to leave those fuckers ASAP because they are only using you at this point. Trust me on this... Im dealing with one right now and it WILL suck the life out of you! Your parents are narcissist's at it's finest. Always lie about things, Always shift blame on you even if is not your fault, Can't take criticism well at all... There is some YT videos about Narcissistic behavior's that you may want to see to save your entire life. I am very sorry to say that the money that you gave to your parents are gone and they will NEVER pay you back from it. My suggestion (again) is to save up a decent amount of cash ($2,000+ if you live in the USA), grab all your important documents (Social Security/Birth certificate/Diploma), take as much stuff as you can and move the fuck out, and *DO NOT* hold contact with them after you move out OR tell that that you are moving. Straight up just leave. Your parents are a huge waste of a fucking life and there is a special place in hell for them.
@@yellowishgreendragon.-. tell them it was their choice to have a baby, they knew babies cost money so they are being selfish to ask you to pay them back for their choice with your friends money.
My father gave me the best advice about family and money. He flat out told me one day that, "When it comes to money, even your brother's not your friend". My brother proved him right.
The person that got the $5k, once you give someone something, it’s not yours anymore, as you gave it to someone else. So even if you spent $2 on it, it ain’t yours anymore.
Never tell people you won a huge amount of money and if you *do* lend anybody some cash, make them sign a promissory note. If they sign it and refuse to pay you back, you can file a civil lawsuit against them and pursue their assets.
I'd call that a dick move if you know them, but so is procrastinating an iou or acting like you're crazy. "I owe you $20?" Yeah, dude. For 6 months straight now, come on...
fk that get collateral that is worth more than the loan and make sure its something you wouldnt mind buying for that price, bc that's what you would be doing. and by get i mean you have the object in your control, not "i promise to give you my laptop later, if you give me money now"
I feel like everyone would come out of the woodwork if I won the lottery. You know those “don’t you remember me? I held you for two minutes when you were a baby” type of people.
Yea, heard similar advice about if you win huge amount of money, people who’ve not spoken to you in YEARS, come out of the woodwork. Also heard about begging letters. Yeah, don’t tell anyone you’ve won a huge amount of money.
@@paulfuray8557 In some states, you don’t have a choice. Like in my state, they publicize who wins the lottery. Something about them thinking everyone has the right to know or something.
I won $500 the week after my brothers birthday, he demanded that I buy him a better birthday gift. I ended up splitting the money between my two bank accounts and now its worth twice that
Danny Thompson , I wasn’t born till 95 and my brother in 99. It’s not worth twice as much as it was then, it’s about $700 now. I just wanted to sound smarter than I am
I landed a job to where I can live comfortably and even retire in 20 years if I keep it (I'm 25). I bought my mom a home since it was something she always wanted to own one. Ever since her siblings found out that I was making bank they have been pestering me with false kindness and giving sob stories. I refuse to even acknowledge them cuz I have not forgotten how they robbed my mother of over 75k and in consequence left my family (brother, sister and my mother) struggling for a good amount of time. Now they are living in poverty and I hope they never escape it for putting my mother through that.
@@arvistotele3442 when they did that to us I would spend time imagining getting revenge on them for it but after a while I realized they weren't worth the effort. They are ruining their own lives just fine without me needing to do anything.
12:41 Stories like this is why I hate any of that "Family comes first" rhetoric. A lot of people allow themselves (and their own family) to suffer, because they feel obligated to an abusive extended family that treats them like shit and constantly takes advantage of you. Family is like every other relationship; cut off everything toxic.
The phrase “blood is thicker than water” actually is supposed to be “the blood of the *covenant* is thicker than the water of the *womb* “. Basically relations and family are built on experience, not whether they’re biologically related.
A buddy of mine started acting strangely. He quit talking to a lot of folk. I went by his house to check on him. He looked at me very suspiciously, but he let me in. I ordered lunch and we sat and chatted. Apparently he had gotten this really big inheritance and a lot of people were hounding him. He had to cut a lot of people out, but we still enjoy each others company (although gift giving was stopped due to the absurdity of it all, so we just get food).
I had a client that won a ten million dollar lottery. At the time I was installing a custom device in their home. They were out doing errands while I was there working with my crew. When they came home, (three days after their names were published in the newspaper) they had three huge shopping bags of mail. Each piece was someone asking for money and pretty much making up reasons that my clients should give it to them. What was even more disappointing was that my two workers were pissed off that they didn't get a huge tip for doing their job. They felt that they deserved a tip, especially a large one because my clients won so much money. We started the job before the lottery win btw.
I hate people like that entitled pricks and the thing is people who think like that truly believe there entitled not intentionally trying to manipulate a story so that they can get what they want but more like they actually feel entitled and feel wronged when they don’t get what want they because they feel they deserve it
I actually have a story from when I was really little so of course the money isn’t that much to an adult but to a kid it was a lot. Basically for my birthday my grandma got me $100 and I told my best friend, who at first didn’t believe me. However one time when she was at my house she saw my money jar and in it was the $100 bill so of course she didn’t leave my house until I gave her some of my money. I ended up giving her 5 cents and she left. Sometimes kids can be pretty dumb
Look... If I ever won the lottery, I would just take the money and try to make what I have around the house better.. I don't tell anybody my financial business.. If I ever became a millionaire, I would still live a middle class life.
Same here, I would just have a good financial lifestyle. Enough to live comfortably. The rest I would just use to invest on a future company. And once that starts rolling, I would donate to orphanages.
For me, I'd use the money to pay off my school loans and debts first, then if some is left, maybe give a little to my parents,( cause I never want to deal with them ever again), and if there is still some left , i'd split it between savings and charity. I don't need expensive knick-knacks to be happy.
8:45 Story cuts off. The rest of it is: "I don't know what she spent it on, drugs probably, but she didn't go back to school. She abruptly cut off contact with me (after TWELVE YEARS) and that was that. Obviously I didn't die, although as I said I came extremely close; I still have money, so I'm not even mad about that. And she was legitimately a huge support in my life for a long time, when there was no expectation of her ever getting anything out of it, so I'm still grateful for that. I think her demons just got the best of her, and she's probably really ashamed or maybe even dead, but it was such a painful betrayal."
For what it’s worth, I’m sorry that happened to you. I’m glad you recovered from your drinking binge and that you’re still well off. Shame to hear about your friend.
Finally one that I can answer, about two years ago my dad and won $300,000 off the local Lottery. It was generous amount for us, my dad was able to payoff the house, pay for some of my brothers student loans, pay for my tech school and get new vehicles. We only had one person ask for money. It was my oldest brother's ex-girlfriend from about 10 years ago. She randomly message my dad over Facebook asking for $500 to pay for rent saying that she was just in between paychecks, you know the classic story. He just blocked her. Other then that no one has ever genuinely asked for money.
IKR, my cousin begs anyone that she sees with it and says "I'm your friend can't you give me some, please please please please please. ITS FRICKING ANNOYING AS HELL
Once took out a pack of hichews. Everyone on the jungle gym turned and looked. I only gave them to my actual friends though. In other words I ate them all.
Here is how the relationship with my parents go when borrowing is involving money I borrow money, they never ask for it and if I try to return it they don't accept it unless they are in a tough spot. They borrow money, they always return it even when I tell them not to.
Thats your parents maintaing a degree of control, it's passive but they make sure you are allways in debt to them even though its not inforced, it's a way of stopping you from ever saying "but you ow me money..." which would interput the power balance between parent and child. When I lived at home all was good until I started earning more than my dad, he didn't like i was the big earner in house, it took away that element of power from him. I moved out not long after
@@djimma5080 Yeah my situation with my parents is nothing like that. Look I am sorry that the situation with your parents turned something like this. But please don't assume anything about my family. We have a very strong bond with eachother. They are helping me now because they know that I need that help and I want someday to be able to make enough from my work to help them. I would wish nothing more than from my Dad to retire from that sitty job of his which has stupid hours and pays him minimum wage while constanly threating to fire him and sucking his soul out.
@@djimma5080 Don't make assumptions about other people's families just because you happened to have a problem with yours. You have my sympathy, but don't project your problems on to other people, it's extremely insulting.
@@djimma5080 I'm pretty sure it's because they're good people. Not sure what fantasy land you live in where everyone is thinking "control" but I sure hope you get better and can see that not everyone in the world are assholes.
I once won a substantial amount of money. 6 figures. All of a sudden friends I hadn't seen in years started reappearing, these 'friends' didn't give two sh*ts about me, never returned my txts and phone calls or anything, but suddenly show up at my door like everything was normal, still don't know how they found out. They didn't get anything, frick them
My parents won the lottery and it was a lot of money. I was pretty young when it happened (7 or 8). Where we lived it was a pretty poor place like most people here are in poverty. So when people found out my parents won people started to walk(or sometimes run) up to us when we shopped, call and text us, show up at our house or at my dads work. So it was pretty scary for my mom to take us anywhere. I still remember random people asking for money saying they were my parents old bestfriends or that they were long lost family members, or that my parent owed them for something. It was scary for me but my family and I are doing well now.
I had three friends. I had a good job and got paid very well.All three of them were engaged, and because I considered them good friends, I used to help them out a lot with money even paid for their dates. I didn't lend them any money just gave it away. And after a while things god worst for me and I even became unemployed for almost a year. I sent each of them a message that if they could lend me some money. The two of them blocked me, and the third one just said that he doesn't have any money which was a lie obviously. I never spoke to any of them again. Now I'm doing okay and have a good normal life. All is behind me. Good friends are rare.
About the guy who replied to the post about the mother never paying the money back. You're absolutely right that's what parents think. I had a lot of money stolen out of my wallet from my dad's wife when I was a minor. About a quarter of all the money I saved up in two years on Christmas day and later asked me why I had so much money and didn't buy Christmas presents. I brought it up multiple times with my father and he seemed to think a combination of she must be innocent and that I owed it to them anyway. When I got my first job I gave my money to my mother so my dad couldn't just take 1000 dollars out of my bank account whenever he felt like I owed him. Other people had better parents, but parents who are scumbags aren't much better to their children. If my mother asked, I'd give her money because she's always trustworthy. If my father was dying of cancer I wouldn't even pay for an uber to a hospital. Family is in the way you treat people not what you demand from them.
It wasn't me who won the lottery, but a veteran in my country did. He was living with his wife in a normal house and I would say he was alone the whole time, no grandchild, no son or daughter, no relative. But when he won the lottery, BAM !!! a lot of people came to his house and claim to be his "relative". I don't know much about him but I am certain that half of these people are strangers. There was time his home was locked to prevent people from banging inside. Yes, a lot of strange came and claim to be his "relative" AFTER he won the lottery, but not BEFORE. To be honest this is the first time I'm so ashamed of the people in my place. This story was broadcasted on TV and on the first page of the newspapers for a long time. That poor old man had to used 2/3 the money he won.
In the mid 90s my dad won about 30 grand from a casino. Not anything like a lottery but people still came out of the woodworks asking him for something. I will never forget it.
I once had to lend my dad some money, he had a good job but at Christmas he got paid 2 weeks early but had to wait 6 weeks for his next pay check, he knew I was saving and had a bit in the bank, asked me to lend him what was essentially half of what I had but he stuck to his word and paid me back every single penny and when I needed it for a car (which is what I was saving for originally) he paid the last third back in one go
@@Liamj774 ahhh, thanks so much PureValLiam. Didn't really pay attention to the drinking because it came out of nowhere, there was no build up to it so I dismissed it as they were just partying together drinking.
I was looking for this comment! I stopped the video to read it because I thought I missed something. Even her implying that she needed help when the guy was drunk didn’t make sense why the other person said “I’m sorry you guys don’t talk” or whatever I was so confused.
Woooow like seriously these people. And that one guy living with his gf and what 4 others. Gf just offers for her bf to pay it. And them having a intervention type meeting thought that since they put it to a vote and had more votes he will pay more. They were already taking advantage even stealing money for the apartment funds which only he put money in. And apparently breaking his laptop would somehow work in their favor or a Thats what you get for going agaisnt paying everything. Well now their piggy bank had enough and left so they're now all fully responsible for the rent and needs like food, toliet paper etc.
@Thelondonbadger Like I said. It could be fake. Always possible. Still man, there are people like that in this world. For example, I once was roommates with my sister and she thought she should pay less of the rent then me because I didn't have any kids and therefore I had less bills to pay and since I didn't have as many bills as her it'd be fair if I pay more rent then her. People thinking "you have more money therefore you should pay more rent" is totally a mindset that exists outside of jokes.
I want to know the aftermath. Like did the rest of the family cut ties with the aunt because she was so greedy? I would, imo lottery tickets are a horrible gift unless it's like a stocking stuffer. You know whoever gave it to you hopes you don't win because really who wants to give away a winning ticket. So basically they're just hoping they gave you garbage.
when you get big money don't announce it. don't tell anyone. Not your boyfriend. not your parents. Not your best friend. Once you do you will be seen as the one with money. Everything changes then. Basically just because you have money they decide _they_ should have it. and once you decline giving them your money you're seen as a selfish and greedy person that deserves pain and suffering until broken. TV always portrays the rich as the bad guy. But the poor are just as eager for your money.
I had a relative who was very ill and needed help paying for medical bills and food. Their aunt won the lottery but she completely cut them out of her life after winning because he asked for some help.
I had over half the guys in my high school ask me out just because I had a rich dad. It was always fun to see their faces when they realized I'd never spent a single penny on them
I got hit while I was riding a bike home from work when I was 16. Went to court and got almost 8k after bills and everything was taken care of. My dad was a single father and I didn't really care about what I saw as free money at the time so cut a check to him for 4k as thanks for doing the best he could while raising me and my siblings. I told him to never repay that money or think about it as thats a gift from me.
When i was still in school i had a friend who got 1000$ and we went to a market and i joke about being hungry. I then went to the toilet and the i came back he had bought me food and i just said "But i did not ask for you to buy me anything" He just said "Nooo. But you said you were hungry" and the started walking.
I know a very bad pastor that always borrows money and doesn't pay back, one time he borrowed money from his son like 2,000 $ and he swears he was going to pay it back with the tax returns, well they came and he didn't want to pay, well his mom gave him the 2,000 $ back and the pastor was angry and talking terrible about his son to the people of church, I said , if you didn't want to give him that money why promise and swear to him you were going to pay him back with the tax returns? Yeah I was there too i remember.
Bruh I never even bought no lottery ticket and ppl still beg me for money. Like some dude straight up asked me for 3000 bucks so he can buy a new gaming PC, I didn’t know that dude, he was definitely not from my school cause I was at a private girls’, all I did was buy him and other 20 ppl food after a party once. he just came up to me and asked. He wasn’t even joking. Said he’d be my boyfriend and expected me to spend more on him. asked me for hype beast stuff too. He said something like ‘if you’re so rich, it wouldn’t be hard to buy me this right? It would be like nothing.’ Honestly I was disgusted, how can someone just welcomes themselves into other people’s pocket?
A bud of mine nearly died on the operating table. Took her months to recovery. She decided to sue the surgeon. I made sure to be there for support. Much to her relief her attorney was able to prove incompetence & that there was a pattern of the MD making mistakes. To protect the Doctor & the hospital from a wave of Lawsuits both insurance companies offered her a huge but sealed settlement. She could not tell anyone about the settlement nor the amount of the payout. She agreed if the MD lost his surgical privileges. She called me & told me, in a very general way, about what had happened. I congratulated her & then said to her to tell those who asked about the pay out that there had been a tiny settlement. 33% to the attorney fees and the rest to pay off debts & medical bills. I then suggested ways to her about ways to invest her settlement. I warned if even a hint of the settlement came out people would swarm in for loans & “investment opportunities”. She followed my suggestions. She later told me how shocked she was at all the cousins & fake friends who surged in looking for money. When she put on the sad face they quickly pulled away fearing she might try them for loans...
This was something I learned, sadly, early on in life, and now that I'm 51 and making decent money, I'm proud to say that no one knows what I make other than my wife and my brother (who is my business partner, and who has the same way of dealing with it, he tells no one). Note: it's not that much, it's just enough that some would impose if they knew. I voluntarily help out and if someone has the nerve to ask me what my "capabilities to help" are after, I lie and say "that was everything I had" and I utterly distance myself from them. Due to mostly picking the right people to voluntarily help out, the rude follow ups have only happened like twice.
Step one: get money Step two: hire advisors Any questions from people asking for money, simply say you'll have to ask my accountant. Of course the accountant will say no, but it removes any peer pressure or guilt from your end. I'm a CPA, I hear these stories every day from "long lost friends" and barely connecting family members. Once I ask a few warm up questions and proceed to nitty-gritty, they fold like lawn chairs to their real intentions. Makes saying requests aren't financially viable much easier. My office is so full of sodium you can taste it, unfortunately. People really show their colors when greed rears its ugly head.
I befriended a good man a year ago and he told me he had won the lottery years ago. Apparently, he grew up in the hood, so everyone knew each other and your business and people would always ask for help when they noticed you were doing well enough for yourself. He also told me you couldn’t go anywhere in his area without someone seeing you. Because of this, as soon as he found out he had won, he immediately went to his State’s Capital, claimed his money and skipped town. I remember him telling me he drove 3 hours to the next major city, scratched out his VIN and took his license plates before ditching his car, then getting a taxi to take him to the airport. Once he got to where he wanted to go, he blocked all of his contacts and stayed at a hotel for a few nights so he could come up with a solid game plan on what to do with his money. He ended up getting the usual house and car but he also legally changed his name and put his money in a high-yield investment account. The dude doesn’t look rich, he doesn’t throw any parties or tells people how he earned his money. He doesn’t even bring up how much money he has. From the looks of him you would never even guess he was well-off. Only less than a handful of people, myself included, actually know him and would never reveal who he is
The parents taking half that 7,000 check literally made me cringe and I agree some parents do act that way like their children owe them somehow, it’s completely dysfunctional
0:51 to 1:31 story Almost happened the same thing. My uncle got a 2$ ticket from my grandma for Christmas and he won 5000$ the Biggest difference is that nobody ask him for money and we were all excited for him and he give 1000$ to my Grandma who didnt ask for anything. Same uncle give me 300$ because i want to make a party because i finish high school one year ago. I love my family
At school, whenever I had any money on me, people would always ask me to buy them things or lend them money. When I said no, they would say something like "I would lend you money if I had it" to try and get me to give them money. When they did actually have money, they would never buy me anything.
When my grandpa passed away, I inherited quite a sum of money, and I was able to get some new stuff, and I treated them for dinner. I kinda feel proud that my friends aren't the types to ask for money shamelessly, and we're quite normal with each other.
I used to sell cakes at school, it had like packets of 10 so I sold them 50p each. I managed to save up like £30 (which was alot for a 14 year old) told a friend that I trusted about the money but kept it hidden in a secret pocket in my jacket. I came back from P.E and someone stole my whole jacket when they couldn't find it. I know he didn't steal it, but either he told someone about it, or someone over heard smh. That was the last time I told someone my money.
Had to actually ask my ex how she thought our 6 year old ALWAYS had $53 exact in his piggy bank for her to steal. It was 5 times. It didn't happen again.
When my wife passed away in 2019 she had a sizable life insurance policy. Her siblings came out of the woodwork demanding I give them the monies as she was their sister. They even had the nerve to demand I give them her ashes, and wedding and engagement ring. I told them all to shove off, and never contact me ever again. Bunch of damn vultures.
I started distancing myself from some of my "friends" because they always asked for money, and stayed with a hand full of friends like 4 and honestly it felt better having little friends
hang on, i just realised that the last post is about MY family written by my cousins in Australia! my great grandfather had dementia and was put in a home in devon, tavistock UK. i had no idea any of this happened, and am sure to update you on what happens
My mum is really good with money, but very controlling, so ever since I got my first job she's been doing things like taking me for haircuts, making sure I got the haircut she wants, and abandoning me in the shop when it was time to pay; taking me to get the school clothes she wanted me to wear, standing with me in the queue to pay and being no where in sight when it was our turn; and my personal favorite that she still does to this day (in my 30s with my own home), buying me expensive gadgets and clothes I refuse to buy for myself and harassing me until I pay her back.
My ex gf opened a restaurant at the start of the year and she was forced to close it down in march due to covid. The quarantine got me at my mother's place in another city and I was forced to stay there for 4 months until I was able to come back with my ex at our apartment. During quarantine time she always told me that she didn't had money for this and that so I obviously kept sending her some for those 4 months (almost $2K), and when I got back I kept paying for some stuff and took her out for dinner many times. After 1 month I found out she cheated on me with 2 guys before I got back and she told me that the best for us was for me to move out and stop having contact with each other for a while.
Once my dad had won 5000 dollars in his last poker game (he quit poker) and there were some people following him and mind you it was night so my mom and he ran to the car and got out of there really fast so the people couldn’t track them down and this happened in Nigeria and there are many thieves at night
I’d be fine to give my mom money, just not a lot, and never any money for my sister because she always gets bitchy over small things, like if I ate something, she’d start yelling so I have to yell louder to shut her up and trust me, I don’t like raising my voice or being too violent unless I’m very angry, and it’s very hard to piss me off.
my grandma won 2 million back in 1993 and people would send sob story letters in hopes of getting some money. When you win something that big you are specifically told not to read them. Obviously that's your choice if you do and she did for a while but had to stop reading them as she was getting upset. Please don't ever send sob letters to lottery winners, you'd be lucky if they read them at all and it really upsets them. They get so many sent through their door that your letter is nothing but another upsetting story to them and they will not send you money.
My Dad was trying to pay off old taxes and he was running out of options and time. I was working two jobs seven days a week for a year, I deposited my checks as soon as I got them. I spent very little since I intended to buy a used car and pay for college on my own steam. He came to me after I finished breakfast and told me about his situation. I readily agreed to help him because I loved my dad and trusted above all others ; my stepmother wasn't happy about owing her stepson for basically saving their asses. However, I never lorded it over them. My Dad kept his word and paid me back in no time. But it still makes my stepmom squirm knowing I had leverage over her for a time. Because I am a saver, people just assumed I would be a easy mark. As soon as I pointed out: " You've been out of work for three months, there's no way you can pay it back " or something else, they got pissed I haven't loan to any person since my dad and I know who my friends are. If someone asks me, I ghost immediately.
If I ever come into a big amount of money the only person I will ever tell is my cousin because he has been there for me all my life and I've been there for him he's the most caring person I've ever known and would never take money me under any circumstances I'll on occasion buy him something nice because I know he deserves it with the stuff he puts up with on a daily basis
I would probably tell my best friend of 12 and going(we are 16), I know I could trust him we always are making random bets maybe of $10 or something and always pay up. I'd also probably tell my parents as they always repay me if I use my money to help them. I trust my dad a bit more though since he makes the big $$$ and know how to use it smart and when I would help him and his buddies with some work stuff like carrying wires (their like 50 pounds and have lots of them so its no really a breez) once finished I would get paid like $100 or with other items.
4:00 Me, my sister, and her boyfriend got into a car accident where a friend was driving and someone t-boned the car. We didnt have insurance but the person's insurance gave each of us $800 dollars. We all live with my mom because I was a minor, and my sister and her boyfriend had been asked to move back because my sister was pregnant. We all pay bills and gove her extra money every month yet when we got our checks she took all of them, none of us got to see a penny of our compensation. The day we got thr checks she got the money. Or else she would have kicked them out and shamed me to the entire family tree.
It's always great to hear stories of humbled people, when lottery winnings or higher salaries don't change their character. Instead it's family and peers who get all googly eyed and greedy.
My father passed away when u was younger and his properties got passed down to my elder brother. All my other family like aunts and uncle's took my big brother to court
@@jesussalinas3074 The property was "bought" by my dad in the late 80's. But there wasn't any legal documents, just a large sum of money given to my grandfather. So my grandfather said it was legally his. Fortunately after some time he passed it down to my brother saying it was out of love. That's pretty much it, my aunts didn't get it and they were pretty cut about it. They didn't invite us to our the family traditional chinese new year party.
When you have money the best thing to say is you have enough to live nicely or happily for one family or person. Depending on how many people you live with whether it’s a family or trustworthy friends. And a good way to make sure nobody asks you for money? Ask them if they ask for money say you were just planning on asking them or if they ask you routinely ask them or just ask a group of people. Might be embarrassing but it’ll be worse when someone asks you for money and they insist you have it even when you say no and keep bothering you.
The van story is very close to my own. Just after the stimulus checks showed up my mom said she was in need of money and needed to sell the second truck in her driveway. She claimed it ran good and was just a little rusty due to age. It’s an old 90s Ford Ranger. I called my dad and asked him about it and he said whilst he and my brother in law had done some work on it it was in need of an emergency break and due to it being a manual transmission the wheels needed to be chocked in order for it to stay stationary. My mom didn’t tell me this.
When you win the lottery your name get publicized and you have a picture taken of you holding a giant check so be careful. Something I read once that was good advice was to hire a lawyer right away, and you can have them legally accept it on your behalf to minimize your publicity.
I worked with a guy who’s grandparents won a chunk of money in the state lottery. They had to disconnect their phone because people and organizations call nonstop
Not me but I had a really good friend in high school, her grandma was rich af (and in turn, her. She was buying $95 mascara in hs so you can imagine), but she was a super nice person and was very close to her grandma because her parents were never around. The grandma ends up leaving her about 90% of her inheritance, the other 10% to be split amongst her uncles/aunts. She used to cry to me after school because her relatives were basically bullying her and trying to take her parents to court to fight over estates and the money. They'd call her up and tell her she's a scheming little girl for sucking up to grandma and 'deceiving' her grandma into leaving her the money. And these are the ppl who were not even there when her grandma was sick in the hospital. It was super sad, and I remember thinking I thought this kind of shit only happened in tv dramas.
Okay here’s what happened to me: Basically my Great-Grandfather was very rich, (yes my great-grandfather) and was very careful with his money. He was very well known in his town and owned the largest business in the area. Mind you it was a fairly low middle class town so he wasn’t ultra rich. Anyways when he died (about 5 months ago) his money went to my grandfather and his sister. When this happened my grandfather who had a really bad head injury 5 years ago (causing him to lose a lot of memory) gained half his fortune. Luckily he can’t really control his money because he’d buy like 2 million worth of booze. So, my Aunt who is kind of crazy is going after that money. My dad is trying to stop her from taking that money. (She lives 10 minutes from my grandfather and we (me and my father) live 2.5 hours) so now we will see what happens, will the money go evenly through 3 people or will one person get it all(aunt). Btw: Idk much about this but we haven’t spoken to my Aunt since
This story is about my mom. The setting is in Sudan during one of its many civil wars. My mother’s father died when she and her siblings were very young. Her father’s side of the family took everything he owned and left their family with nothing. After my mother and her siblings grew up and gotten jobs their father's side of the family started talking to them and asking for money saying they were family. My mom said they and their kids would harass them with calls about money and act like they were doing nothing wrong. They cut ties with that side of the family and haven’t spoken to any of them since.
So my family won the lottery when it built up big time and i got 1/4 of it. I didn't tell my friends but they figured out through local news and started bugging me with requests so i denied them saying i wanted to save for college but they were all, "can't you give us a little?" and i mean, i could but i also need to pay for more important things in the future. Even though this happened in 6th grade, they still bug me 4 years later and even after i blocked them out of my life and started hanging with the weebs.
11:40 Has this ever happen to anyone where your parents say, "Im gonna keep your money safe" and ends up buying stuff with it and when you ask for it back they end up either saying, "I dont know where it went" or if your smart and know they have spent it they will use the 'I gave birth to you' agrument.
I land a high paying job and of one of close friends suddenly tells me her problems about money (single mom of two boys) and by the end of the conversations she would ask me if i could buy her kids needs. I mean its ok if its a one time thing until she always ask if i have money to give.
1) Totally agree with all of the comments about never telling anyone when you come into a lot of money! 2) The person on the last one is incredibly naive if they think that the aunt that was "caring for him" in the end didn't wind up with all that money!
I had this happen all the time in school, whenever I'd have like $10 to $15 I'd always have people i barely knew pretend to be my friend because I had money at the time

Used to make about $4000 a month, (quit due to health issues and wanting to finish my degree) and I had “friends” and family always bugging me to pay for dinner or help them with rent. Had one friend who was always uncomfortable with me spending money on him and when he was in a tight spot and was refusing help I bailed him out. He recently got a great job and has now been returning the favor, always referring to the time I helped him when I protest. That’s a true friend
What job did you have to make that much? That's quite impressive when studying on the side.
Treasure that friend 😇; there are not many genuine people in the world.
Glam metal worker, and I wasn’t studying at the time so I could work 40+ hours a week but left to go to school again, felt like the job was killing me honestly
4000x12= 48,000
So yearly pay would be 48k, which is not very much yearly pay.
I have a older step-cousin who is in college and has a pretty fancy part time job, he works as a secretary in some fancy building for 4 hours a day.
He makes about 5,000 every 2 months, actually quite a ton.
A lot of the family is helping with his bills and tuition.
My best friend died when she was 17. On my birthday her single mother decided to give me the money that was in my best friends bank account. It was about 1000 dollars. It was gone in a week because my parents forced me to take it out of the bank so they could pay their bills. They told me they would give it back and I wouldn't notice it was gone. It's been 3 years.
you should really try and guilt trip your parent about that idk if you can bc that sounds like typical narcissistic behavior . that fact that they used your dead friends money to pay off their bills forcing you to take out the money is just awful.
So it’s been three years and you haven’t said anything? Sad.

I am very sorry to say that the money that you gave to your parents are gone and they will NEVER pay you back from it. My suggestion (again) is to save up a decent amount of cash ($2,000+ if you live in the USA), grab all your important documents (Social Security/Birth certificate/Diploma), take as much stuff as you can and move the fuck out, and *DO NOT* hold contact with them after you move out OR tell that that you are moving. Straight up just leave. Your parents are a huge waste of a fucking life and there is a special place in hell for them.

Never tell people you won a huge amount of money and if you *do* lend anybody some cash, make them sign a promissory note. If they sign it and refuse to pay you back, you can file a civil lawsuit against them and pursue their assets.

Not a bad idea. I’ll have to remember that.
I'd call that a dick move if you know them, but so is procrastinating an iou or acting like you're crazy. "I owe you $20?" Yeah, dude. For 6 months straight now, come on...
fk that
get collateral that is worth more than the loan and make sure its something you wouldnt mind buying for that price, bc that's what you would be doing.
and by get i mean you have the object in your control, not "i promise to give you my laptop later, if you give me money now"
I feel like everyone would come out of the woodwork if I won the lottery. You know those “don’t you remember me? I held you for two minutes when you were a baby” type of people.
I wouldn't give 1 single cent even to my mother. I'm jewish though so I guess it's in my blood.

12:41 Stories like this is why I hate any of that "Family comes first" rhetoric. A lot of people allow themselves (and their own family) to suffer, because they feel obligated to an abusive extended family that treats them like shit and constantly takes advantage of you. Family is like every other relationship; cut off everything toxic.
The phrase “blood is thicker than water” actually is supposed to be “the blood of the *covenant* is thicker than the water of the *womb* “.
Basically relations and family are built on experience, not whether they’re biologically related.
Hollow Inside family always comes first. TRUE and REAL family that is
If your family says that and uses it as an excuse to get away with things, simply say, _______________
If/When I’m told “We’re family!” as justification for selfish demands from someone, I reply with “So are the Jacksons. Buh-bye!”

A buddy of mine started acting strangely. He quit talking to a lot of folk. I went by his house to check on him. He looked at me very suspiciously, but he let me in. I ordered lunch and we sat and chatted. Apparently he had gotten this really big inheritance and a lot of people were hounding him. He had to cut a lot of people out, but we still enjoy each others company (although gift giving was stopped due to the absurdity of it all, so we just get food).
I had a client that won a ten million dollar lottery. At the time I was installing a custom device in their home. They were out doing errands while I was there working with my crew. When they came home, (three days after their names were published in the newspaper) they had three huge shopping bags of mail. Each piece was someone asking for money and pretty much making up reasons that my clients should give it to them. What was even more disappointing was that my two workers were pissed off that they didn't get a huge tip for doing their job. They felt that they deserved a tip, especially a large one because my clients won so much money. We started the job before the lottery win btw.
You deserve to get paid more just because your client won alot?

@@earthing3696 "yes" says the leech
I actually have a story from when I was really little so of course the money isn’t that much to an adult but to a kid it was a lot. Basically for my birthday my grandma got me $100 and I told my best friend, who at first didn’t believe me. However one time when she was at my house she saw my money jar and in it was the $100 bill so of course she didn’t leave my house until I gave her some of my money. I ended up giving her 5 cents and she left. Sometimes kids can be pretty dumb
Lol
U should of gave them less
Honey Lemon a penny
noob david not everyone is american
5 cents. Was it the 50's?
Look... If I ever won the lottery, I would just take the money and try to make what I have around the house better.. I don't tell anybody my financial business.. If I ever became a millionaire, I would still live a middle class life.
Same here, I would just have a good financial lifestyle. Enough to live comfortably. The rest I would just use to invest on a future company. And once that starts rolling, I would donate to orphanages.
Same, I would just make my middle class house very nice and maintainable
Same here I'd have top of the line everything it'll look like a palace but it's finna be a 2 bed 2 bath palace 😂
For me, I'd use the money to pay off my school loans and debts first, then if some is left, maybe give a little to my parents,( cause I never want to deal with them ever again), and if there is still some left , i'd split it between savings and charity. I don't need expensive knick-knacks to be happy.
Same. Middle class life is comfortable.
8:45 Story cuts off. The rest of it is:
"I don't know what she spent it on, drugs probably, but she didn't go back to school. She abruptly cut off contact with me (after TWELVE YEARS) and that was that. Obviously I didn't die, although as I said I came extremely close; I still have money, so I'm not even mad about that. And she was legitimately a huge support in my life for a long time, when there was no expectation of her ever getting anything out of it, so I'm still grateful for that. I think her demons just got the best of her, and she's probably really ashamed or maybe even dead, but it was such a painful betrayal."

Finally one that I can answer, about two years ago my dad and won $300,000 off the local Lottery. It was generous amount for us, my dad was able to payoff the house, pay for some of my brothers student loans, pay for my tech school and get new vehicles. We only had one person ask for money. It was my oldest brother's ex-girlfriend from about 10 years ago. She randomly message my dad over Facebook asking for $500 to pay for rent saying that she was just in between paychecks, you know the classic story. He just blocked her. Other then that no one has ever genuinely asked for money.

Here is how the relationship with my parents go when borrowing is involving money
I borrow money, they never ask for it and if I try to return it they don't accept it unless they are in a tough spot.
They borrow money, they always return it even when I tell them not to.
The borrower is slave to the lender, is why your parents always want to pay you back even after you say no. You have good parents
Thats your parents maintaing a degree of control, it's passive but they make sure you are allways in debt to them even though its not inforced, it's a way of stopping you from ever saying "but you ow me money..." which would interput the power balance between parent and child. When I lived at home all was good until I started earning more than my dad, he didn't like i was the big earner in house, it took away that element of power from him. I moved out not long after

My parents won the lottery and it was a lot of money. I was pretty young when it happened (7 or 8). Where we lived it was a pretty poor place like most people here are in poverty. So when people found out my parents won people started to walk(or sometimes run) up to us when we shopped, call and text us, show up at our house or at my dads work. So it was pretty scary for my mom to take us anywhere. I still remember random people asking for money saying they were my parents old bestfriends or that they were long lost family members, or that my parent owed them for something. It was scary for me but my family and I are doing well now.

About the guy who replied to the post about the mother never paying the money back. You're absolutely right that's what parents think.
I had a lot of money stolen out of my wallet from my dad's wife when I was a minor. About a quarter of all the money I saved up in two years on Christmas day and later asked me why I had so much money and didn't buy Christmas presents. I brought it up multiple times with my father and he seemed to think a combination of she must be innocent and that I owed it to them anyway. When I got my first job I gave my money to my mother so my dad couldn't just take 1000 dollars out of my bank account whenever he felt like I owed him. Other people had better parents, but parents who are scumbags aren't much better to their children. If my mother asked, I'd give her money because she's always trustworthy. If my father was dying of cancer I wouldn't even pay for an uber to a hospital. Family is in the way you treat people not what you demand from them.
Word
It wasn't me who won the lottery, but a veteran in my country did. He was living with his wife in a normal house and I would say he was alone the whole time, no grandchild, no son or daughter, no relative. But when he won the lottery, BAM !!! a lot of people came to his house and claim to be his "relative". I don't know much about him but I am certain that half of these people are strangers. There was time his home was locked to prevent people from banging inside. Yes, a lot of strange came and claim to be his "relative" AFTER he won the lottery, but not BEFORE. To be honest this is the first time I'm so ashamed of the people in my place. This story was broadcasted on TV and on the first page of the newspapers for a long time. That poor old man had to used 2/3 the money he won.
In the mid 90s my dad won about 30 grand from a casino. Not anything like a lottery but people still came out of the woodworks asking him for something. I will never forget it.
I once had to lend my dad some money, he had a good job but at Christmas he got paid 2 weeks early but had to wait 6 weeks for his next pay check, he knew I was saving and had a bit in the bank, asked me to lend him what was essentially half of what I had but he stuck to his word and paid me back every single penny and when I needed it for a car (which is what I was saving for originally) he paid the last third back in one go

@Thelondonbadger As with all reddit stories, it could obviously be fake. Though I don't know why you'd assume it's fake. People like that do exist.
@Thelondonbadger Like I said. It could be fake. Always possible. Still man, there are people like that in this world. For example, I once was roommates with my sister and she thought she should pay less of the rent then me because I didn't have any kids and therefore I had less bills to pay and since I didn't have as many bills as her it'd be fair if I pay more rent then her. People thinking "you have more money therefore you should pay more rent" is totally a mindset that exists outside of jokes.

Not your best friend.
Once you do you will be seen as the one with money. Everything changes then.
Basically just because you have money they decide _they_ should have it. and once you decline giving them your money you're seen as a selfish and greedy person that deserves pain and suffering until broken.
TV always portrays the rich as the bad guy. But the poor are just as eager for your money.

If I ever won a significant amount of money, all people will know that it’s a low amount and already been used up.
If I ever win a large amount of money, I will buy a nuke and drop it on my own town.
If I ever won a significant amount, I would save it and at most help my parents with rent.
I had a relative who was very ill and needed help paying for medical bills and food. Their aunt won the lottery but she completely cut them out of her life after winning because he asked for some help.
I had over half the guys in my high school ask me out just because I had a rich dad. It was always fun to see their faces when they realized I'd never spent a single penny on them
jesus christ you rejected half of your school? now that is quite a feet
Never tell dates that you're rich. You'll never know if it's you or the money they love.
I got hit while I was riding a bike home from work when I was 16. Went to court and got almost 8k after bills and everything was taken care of. My dad was a single father and I didn't really care about what I saw as free money at the time so cut a check to him for 4k as thanks for doing the best he could while raising me and my siblings. I told him to never repay that money or think about it as thats a gift from me.
When i was still in school i had a friend who got 1000$ and we went to a market and i joke about being hungry. I then went to the toilet and the i came back he had bought me food and i just said "But i did not ask for you to buy me anything"
He just said
"Nooo. But you said you were hungry" and the started walking.

I know a very bad pastor that always borrows money and doesn't pay back, one time he borrowed money from his son like 2,000 $ and he swears he was going to pay it back with the tax returns, well they came and he didn't want to pay, well his mom gave him the 2,000 $ back and the pastor was angry and talking terrible about his son to the people of church, I said , if you didn't want to give him that money why promise and swear to him you were going to pay him back with the tax returns? Yeah I was there too i remember.

Bruh I never even bought no lottery ticket and ppl still beg me for money.
Like some dude straight up asked me for 3000 bucks so he can buy a new gaming PC, I didn’t know that dude, he was definitely not from my school cause I was at a private girls’, all I did was buy him and other 20 ppl food after a party once. he just came up to me and asked.
He wasn’t even joking. Said he’d be my boyfriend and expected me to spend more on him. asked me for hype beast stuff too.
He said something like ‘if you’re so rich, it wouldn’t be hard to buy me this right? It would be like nothing.’
Honestly I was disgusted, how can someone just welcomes themselves into other people’s pocket?

A bud of mine nearly died on the operating table. Took her months to recovery. She decided to sue the surgeon. I made sure to be there for support. Much to her relief her attorney was able to prove incompetence & that there was a pattern of the MD making mistakes. To protect the Doctor & the hospital from a wave of Lawsuits both insurance companies offered her a huge but sealed settlement. She could not tell anyone about the settlement nor the amount of the payout. She agreed if the MD lost his surgical privileges.
She called me & told me, in a very general way, about what had happened. I congratulated her & then said to her to tell those who asked about the pay out that there had been a tiny settlement. 33% to the attorney fees and the rest to pay off debts & medical bills. I then suggested ways to her about ways to invest her settlement.
I warned if even a hint of the settlement came out people would swarm in for loans & “investment opportunities”.
She followed my suggestions. She later told me how shocked she was at all the cousins & fake friends who surged in looking for money. When she put on the sad face they quickly pulled away
fearing she might try them for loans...
😂 that’s hilarious! Just shows how greedy people are but have no desire to help someone else in the least.
The vultures, gather, when you come into money.
@@sandranoisewater6093 totally agree...That’s why I advised to go QT on the settlement...
Your a true genuine person I can tell and very wise
This was something I learned, sadly, early on in life, and now that I'm 51 and making decent money, I'm proud to say that no one knows what I make other than my wife and my brother (who is my business partner, and who has the same way of dealing with it, he tells no one). Note: it's not that much, it's just enough that some would impose if they knew.
I voluntarily help out and if someone has the nerve to ask me what my "capabilities to help" are after, I lie and say "that was everything I had" and I utterly distance myself from them. Due to mostly picking the right people to voluntarily help out, the rude follow ups have only happened like twice.
Step one: get money
Step two: hire advisors
Any questions from people asking for money, simply say you'll have to ask my accountant. Of course the accountant will say no, but it removes any peer pressure or guilt from your end.
I'm a CPA, I hear these stories every day from "long lost friends" and barely connecting family members. Once I ask a few warm up questions and proceed to nitty-gritty, they fold like lawn chairs to their real intentions. Makes saying requests aren't financially viable much easier. My office is so full of sodium you can taste it, unfortunately. People really show their colors when greed rears its ugly head.
You and @alexius23 are rare to come by took me almost 30 minutes for such great advice.
I befriended a good man a year ago and he told me he had won the lottery years ago. Apparently, he grew up in the hood, so everyone knew each other and your business and people would always ask for help when they noticed you were doing well enough for yourself. He also told me you couldn’t go anywhere in his area without someone seeing you.
Because of this, as soon as he found out he had won, he immediately went to his State’s Capital, claimed his money and skipped town. I remember him telling me he drove 3 hours to the next major city, scratched out his VIN and took his license plates before ditching his car, then getting a taxi to take him to the airport.
Once he got to where he wanted to go, he blocked all of his contacts and stayed at a hotel for a few nights so he could come up with a solid game plan on what to do with his money. He ended up getting the usual house and car but he also legally changed his name and put his money in a high-yield investment account.
The dude doesn’t look rich, he doesn’t throw any parties or tells people how he earned his money. He doesn’t even bring up how much money he has. From the looks of him you would never even guess he was well-off. Only less than a handful of people, myself included, actually know him and would never reveal who he is
The parents taking half that 7,000 check literally made me cringe and I agree some parents do act that way like their children owe them somehow, it’s completely dysfunctional

Almost happened the same thing. My uncle got a 2$ ticket from my grandma for Christmas and he won 5000$ the Biggest difference is that nobody ask him for money and we were all excited for him and he give 1000$ to my Grandma who didnt ask for anything. Same uncle give me 300$ because i want to make a party because i finish high school one year ago.
I love my family
At school, whenever I had any money on me, people would always ask me to buy them things or lend them money. When I said no, they would say something like "I would lend you money if I had it" to try and get me to give them money. When they did actually have money, they would never buy me anything.

When my grandpa passed away, I inherited quite a sum of money, and I was able to get some new stuff, and I treated them for dinner. I kinda feel proud that my friends aren't the types to ask for money shamelessly, and we're quite normal with each other.
When I was in middle school my dad stole money from me to take my step mom to a concert.

I used to sell cakes at school, it had like packets of 10 so I sold them 50p each. I managed to save up like £30 (which was alot for a 14 year old) told a friend that I trusted about the money but kept it hidden in a secret pocket in my jacket. I came back from P.E and someone stole my whole jacket when they couldn't find it. I know he didn't steal it, but either he told someone about it, or someone over heard smh. That was the last time I told someone my money.

When my wife passed away in 2019 she had a sizable life insurance policy. Her siblings came out of the woodwork demanding I give them the monies as she was their sister. They even had the nerve to demand I give them her ashes, and wedding and engagement ring. I told them all to shove off, and never contact me ever again. Bunch of damn vultures.
I never loan someone money. If I feel compassionate or generous enough to give money or buy something, I automatically assume I will never be repaid

My mum is really good with money, but very controlling, so ever since I got my first job she's been doing things like taking me for haircuts, making sure I got the haircut she wants, and abandoning me in the shop when it was time to pay; taking me to get the school clothes she wanted me to wear, standing with me in the queue to pay and being no where in sight when it was our turn; and my personal favorite that she still does to this day (in my 30s with my own home), buying me expensive gadgets and clothes I refuse to buy for myself and harassing me until I pay her back.
Good with her money maybe but certainly not yours, jesus

My ex gf opened a restaurant at the start of the year and she was forced to close it down in march due to covid. The quarantine got me at my mother's place in another city and I was forced to stay there for 4 months until I was able to come back with my ex at our apartment. During quarantine time she always told me that she didn't had money for this and that so I obviously kept sending her some for those 4 months (almost $2K), and when I got back I kept paying for some stuff and took her out for dinner many times.
After 1 month I found out she cheated on me with 2 guys before I got back and she told me that the best for us was for me to move out and stop having contact with each other for a while.
Once my dad had won 5000 dollars in his last poker game (he quit poker) and there were some people following him and mind you it was night so my mom and he ran to the car and got out of there really fast so the people couldn’t track them down and this happened in Nigeria and there are many thieves at night
I’d be fine to give my mom money, just not a lot, and never any money for my sister because she always gets bitchy over small things, like if I ate something, she’d start yelling so I have to yell louder to shut her up and trust me, I don’t like raising my voice or being too violent unless I’m very angry, and it’s very hard to piss me off.
my grandma won 2 million back in 1993 and people would send sob story letters in hopes of getting some money. When you win something that big you are specifically told not to read them. Obviously that's your choice if you do and she did for a while but had to stop reading them as she was getting upset. Please don't ever send sob letters to lottery winners, you'd be lucky if they read them at all and it really upsets them. They get so many sent through their door that your letter is nothing but another upsetting story to them and they will not send you money.
Ahh yes, the natural phenomenon of greed
My Dad was trying to pay off old taxes and he was running out of options and time. I was working two jobs seven days a week for a year, I deposited my checks as soon as I got them. I spent very little since I intended to buy a used car and pay for college on my own steam. He came to me after I finished breakfast and told me about his situation. I readily agreed to help him because I loved my dad and trusted above all others ; my stepmother wasn't happy about owing her stepson for basically saving their asses. However, I never lorded it over them. My Dad kept his word and paid me back in no time. But it still makes my stepmom squirm knowing I had leverage over her for a time. Because I am a saver, people just assumed I would be a easy mark. As soon as I pointed out: " You've been out of work for three months, there's no way you can pay it back " or something else, they got pissed I haven't loan to any person since my dad and I know who my friends are. If someone asks me, I ghost immediately.
If I ever come into a big amount of money the only person I will ever tell is my cousin because he has been there for me all my life and I've been there for him he's the most caring person I've ever known and would never take money me under any circumstances I'll on occasion buy him something nice because I know he deserves it with the stuff he puts up with on a daily basis
I would probably tell my best friend of 12 and going(we are 16), I know I could trust him we always are making random bets maybe of $10 or something and always pay up. I'd also probably tell my parents as they always repay me if I use my money to help them. I trust my dad a bit more though since he makes the big $$$ and know how to use it smart and when I would help him and his buddies with some work stuff like carrying wires (their like 50 pounds and have lots of them so its no really a breez) once finished I would get paid like $100 or with other items.

4:00 Me, my sister, and her boyfriend got into a car accident where a friend was driving and someone t-boned the car. We didnt have insurance but the person's insurance gave each of us $800 dollars. We all live with my mom because I was a minor, and my sister and her boyfriend had been asked to move back because my sister was pregnant. We all pay bills and gove her extra money every month yet when we got our checks she took all of them, none of us got to see a penny of our compensation. The day we got thr checks she got the money. Or else she would have kicked them out and shamed me to the entire family tree.
1:14 I would have given her 2 dollars since it was that much
It's always great to hear stories of humbled people, when lottery winnings or higher salaries don't change their character. Instead it's family and peers who get all googly eyed and greedy.
My father passed away when u was younger and his properties got passed down to my elder brother. All my other family like aunts and uncle's took my big brother to court
How did that turn out? Did your brother keep everything?
@@jesussalinas3074 The property was "bought" by my dad in the late 80's. But there wasn't any legal documents, just a large sum of money given to my grandfather. So my grandfather said it was legally his. Fortunately after some time he passed it down to my brother saying it was out of love. That's pretty much it, my aunts didn't get it and they were pretty cut about it. They didn't invite us to our the family traditional chinese new year party.
When you have money the best thing to say is you have enough to live nicely or happily for one family or person. Depending on how many people you live with whether it’s a family or trustworthy friends. And a good way to make sure nobody asks you for money? Ask them if they ask for money say you were just planning on asking them or if they ask you routinely ask them or just ask a group of people. Might be embarrassing but it’ll be worse when someone asks you for money and they insist you have it even when you say no and keep bothering you.
The van story is very close to my own. Just after the stimulus checks showed up my mom said she was in need of money and needed to sell the second truck in her driveway. She claimed it ran good and was just a little rusty due to age. It’s an old 90s Ford Ranger. I called my dad and asked him about it and he said whilst he and my brother in law had done some work on it it was in need of an emergency break and due to it being a manual transmission the wheels needed to be chocked in order for it to stay stationary. My mom didn’t tell me this.
Do Not Tell Anyone At All !!! When You Get Money !!! Not Worth It !
But they told it to reddit
When you win the lottery your name get publicized and you have a picture taken of you holding a giant check so be careful. Something I read once that was good advice was to hire a lawyer right away, and you can have them legally accept it on your behalf to minimize your publicity.

You find who's really there for you when you come into money.
Not me but I had a really good friend in high school, her grandma was rich af (and in turn, her. She was buying $95 mascara in hs so you can imagine), but she was a super nice person and was very close to her grandma because her parents were never around. The grandma ends up leaving her about 90% of her inheritance, the other 10% to be split amongst her uncles/aunts. She used to cry to me after school because her relatives were basically bullying her and trying to take her parents to court to fight over estates and the money. They'd call her up and tell her she's a scheming little girl for sucking up to grandma and 'deceiving' her grandma into leaving her the money. And these are the ppl who were not even there when her grandma was sick in the hospital. It was super sad, and I remember thinking I thought this kind of shit only happened in tv dramas.
wait ppl actually ask others and beg friends for money? my parents raised me right bc this sounds crazy to guilt trip like these ppl lol
Exactly, shameful behavior.
8:43 u skipped the part where the girl literally ghosts him and ends her relationship with him
Okay here’s what happened to me:
Basically my Great-Grandfather was very rich, (yes my great-grandfather) and was very careful with his money. He was very well known in his town and owned the largest business in the area. Mind you it was a fairly low middle class town so he wasn’t ultra rich. Anyways when he died (about 5 months ago) his money went to my grandfather and his sister. When this happened my grandfather who had a really bad head injury 5 years ago (causing him to lose a lot of memory) gained half his fortune. Luckily he can’t really control his money because he’d buy like 2 million worth of booze. So, my Aunt who is kind of crazy is going after that money. My dad is trying to stop her from taking that money. (She lives 10 minutes from my grandfather and we (me and my father) live 2.5 hours) so now we will see what happens, will the money go evenly through 3 people or will one person get it all(aunt).
Btw: Idk much about this but we haven’t spoken to my Aunt since
This story is about my mom. The setting is in Sudan during one of its many civil wars. My mother’s father died when she and her siblings were very young. Her father’s side of the family took everything he owned and left their family with nothing. After my mother and her siblings grew up and gotten jobs their father's side of the family started talking to them and asking for money saying they were family. My mom said they and their kids would harass them with calls about money and act like they were doing nothing wrong. They cut ties with that side of the family and haven’t spoken to any of them since.
So my family won the lottery when it built up big time and i got 1/4 of it. I didn't tell my friends but they figured out through local news and started bugging me with requests so i denied them saying i wanted to save for college but they were all, "can't you give us a little?" and i mean, i could but i also need to pay for more important things in the future. Even though this happened in 6th grade, they still bug me 4 years later and even after i blocked them out of my life and started hanging with the weebs.
Me: *Wins the lottery*
My dad who's gone for 2 years: bonjour
"hey bud sorry im late, couldn't find the right cigs anywhere"

Has this ever happen to anyone where your parents say, "Im gonna keep your money safe" and ends up buying stuff with it and when you ask for it back they end up either saying, "I dont know where it went" or if your smart and know they have spent it they will use the 'I gave birth to you' agrument.
yep, my mom. she owes me 50 dollars, and when i try to ask her when im getting paid back, she diverts the question. ive since cut contact with her.
I land a high paying job and of one of close friends suddenly tells me her problems about money (single mom of two boys) and by the end of the conversations she would ask me if i could buy her kids needs. I mean its ok if its a one time thing until she always ask if i have money to give.
She didn't get shit was the best part of this video. lol
I work for 10 dollars an hour, and my family still begs from me. But whatever, I like to help others.
1) Totally agree with all of the comments about never telling anyone when you come into a lot of money!
2) The person on the last one is incredibly naive if they think that the aunt that was "caring for him" in the end didn't wind up with all that money!
I never told any of my friends or anyone.
**Literally tells over the whole entire internet**
I had this happen all the time in school, whenever I'd have like $10 to $15 I'd always have people i barely knew pretend to be my friend because I had money at the time
