A perfect example to show what really irks me about my family. A little more than a year ago I talked to my family to some extent about my financial situation. They know I need help keeping up. My brother and his wife are struggling too. My sister and her husband are the “rich” ones in the family. They’ve helped my brother and his wife out quite a few times. He is part owner and president of a local business. He retired last year and is in the process of transferring his share to his youngest son. He’s waiting a couple years to collect his Social Security so he can get more. In the mean time they’re living off their savings. They claim that his mother is a millionaire. They went to the shore for a week July of last year, went on a cruise in October of last year, went on a two week trip in February to Florida, took another week long trip to the shore in July, and went to South Carolina in September. And then my sister’s husband with his fancy cars…. He got a Lexus SUV nearly 4 years ago for his every day car. He used to have a Corvette but he traded that in several years ago for a Porsche Boxster. He traded hid Porsche in a year ago for a BMW. BUT….BUT my sister and her husband don’t have the money to help me out. Now here’s what really irks me. My brother and his wife want to go to Florida over Christmas to visit their son and his family. They have been debating over this because they don’t know if they’ll have the money to do it. Well, my sister and her husband decided to give them the money to go down. If they have the money to give my brother and his wife money to go on a trip, why don’t they have the money to help me out with bills?
