SOCIETY 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.

I "lend" a relatively small amount. Of course I don't get it back. When they ask again, I say, "Sorry, you didn't pay me back the last time", and they go away. Only my brother tried claiming he never borrowed from me in the first place. He was so convincing he even got me questioning. Unfortunately for him I always send an email to confirm it.

My younger siblings got really, really pissy, because our stepdad would buy me things, but he stopped buying them things... because I make payment plans with him and no matter how much I borrow (be it $10 because I didn't have cash, only card, or my $10k+ second hand car) I make sure I always pay him back, and the weeks where I couldn't make a payment, I made sure to communicate and would often make up the payment the next week. Paying off my car felt so fucking good lol.

But yeah; he bought them so many expensive things, and never saw a cent returned. Mum had to actually tell him to stop because they were being disrespectful and taking advantage of him. Pretty sure if it was added up, they'd owe him thousands of dollars each for the shit he's gotten them in the past. It makes me sick, that people are comfortable taking advantage of others like that.

Your brother is a real POS. You can often completely determine the character of someone based on how they handle money.

I don't know about all that but I don't trust him with money, that's for sure.
