You Put in the Work, but Now Family and Friends are Salty That You're Not Helping Them Out

[NothingButTheTruth]

Never, my support system is strong and has always been strong. My advice to someone in this position is to tighten your circle.

However, if it's your close family, it may have been some kind of tough love, as everything isn't black and white all the time.

One thing I learned early, unless it's my parents, I don't owe nobody in life shit.

Can't relate. I tend to surround myself with people who are similarly driven, always looking out, pushing each other to do better. People in my inner circle work their ass off...

If it's family.. Deal with it.. To whom much is given much is expected... Try to enable them to take care of themselves in the process.. Don't just give em everything..

I'd have a talk with them about personal responsibility and the ways in which they can achieve their goals in life.

There are a lot of ways to help someone without lending them money - life direction, advice, resources, time etc.

If they still complaining after that ... Let em stay salty.

I've earned what I have and they can do the same.

I am lucky to be blessed with a family who would be happy for me and if I have the chance to help them out I would anyway, now friends are different, recently I have started to achieve in life, nothing big but still I am doing OK compared to some friends, I just don't be bragging about shit to them, I am not materialistic so no matter how good I do in life I will pretty much be the same guy so the only way people will know I am doing good is if I tell them.

 

[numbaz...80's baby]

Not giving nobody shit but mom dukes. I'm changing phone numbers, changing and ignoring all social media accounts. I have a huge family. Impossible to help all of them. Honestly, out of all 7 of my aunts, only two of them aren't owners, CEOs or vice presidents. Them niggaz and niggets can go to their mamma.

well honestly...

dont matter if you the same guy....people will treat you differently and you will begin to see things differently and will move differently to protect yourself.

the more you grow the more excess money you will have...to do shit with.

your decision making process will change...your reaction to price tags will change..people will pick up on that.

bruh...you dont have to brag but your reaction to certain shit will have people thinking you are bragging.

 

[D. Morgan]

I'm fucked up that people are still bothered by shit like this. If I've done nothing wrong fuck I care about a nigga or a bitch being salty cause I ain't doing them a favor.

I personally don't give a fuck about who is salty. I keep telling yall fuck a persons title and nobody is exempt (mother, father, grandparents, sister, brother, aunt, uncle, friends & associates).

If you wasn't there to help along the way even with words of encourage and/or guidance. Stay the fuck away from me!!

Facts and truth always better than a persons opinion especially the feelings and emotions of a bitter hating ass person.

I know exactly what you mean, I have a friend going through the same shit, he has cash to spend but he is still chillin on the estate (the hood) we was talking about cars and my friend said some shit about how something only cost a few thousand, then one of the fellas said "I aint got a few thousand, you say it like it's nothing" plus he has said shit like that to me a lot but he knows I am cool and not gonna hate him for his success, I can see the divide starting and it will only get bigger over time.

Once again, family can be charged to the game. You don't have to deal with it.

This!!

All of the work I have done have been for my family. It's been to make a difference and to be a stable and reliable person that my family can count on in a jam.

It never gets old or tiring. Frustrating at times? Yes. But that's only because, I am a human. But my station in life is to be that dude. When everyone and everything is falling apart around me I expect to be that person to keep it together and help my family do the same.

I teach my children the same. God willing we will always be that rock for anyone who is need.

The key for me is accepting my station. The other is do not loan anything. You either give it as a gift or don't give it at all.
