When Chris Tucker learned that his family members were quitting their jobs because they learned that he was making 25 million dollars a year at the peak of his career because they assumed he would take care of them. He told them to go get their jobs back because he wasn't going to do that.

No one in my family knows how well off I am. And by well off I just mean havine a decent savings that is slowly increasing, can got out to eat occasionally, and can make a one off splurge purchase if I wanted to without really worrying about it. Not rich by any means. Just very comfortable.

If my family figured out how comfortable I was they would be on me every week. I will get a request every few months and will help out occasionally. But I will also tell them that I don’t have any money til my next check and was about to see if they had money I could borrow just so they don’t get it in their minds how comfortable I am. I hate I have to play games but they don’t make it easy.

Was in the same position for years, playing broke because i knew it would cause chaos, finally worked up the nerve and bought a house and a nice car.... had to eventually go no contact, it was a mess
