      Some ppl don't have enough to give but can loan out to a loved one. Also some ppl don't need a handout but a loan. In life general there is no one shoe fits all... So I think in other to be safe you gotta jst knw how to navigate that space and you won't always win....jst like life.

    Being an immigrant I know this feeling way too well , you could be living paycheck to paycheck and people back home will still be calling you everyday demanding you send them money and material things and when you explain to them how this country works they don’t believe you and think you’re holding out . Crazy thing is if you send them an amount they think is too small compared to what they think you have they won’t even call back to say thank you . They ask for new iPhones ect I don’t even have the latest phones but I’m supposed to just spent 1k to hand a grown adult a new phone simply cause we’re related ?
    Of course living in poverty is hard but stop being fucking entitled to people’s money, it takes the joy out of generosity

      I have heard similar to this. My husband's family is from Trinidad. He was born in the U.S. His mom was a nurse, and his dad had a blue collar job. You would think on a nurse's salary they would be living okay in the 90s. He said they grew up poor. He found out they were sending a lot of money back home. He has 6 siblings, and they were struggling to eat. Their family back home did not care. They thought they were rich coming to America.

    I can appreciate everything spoken about in this clip. I agree with mostly all of it. The only thing I am not a fan of is when so-called "friends" you've known for many, many years decide not to help when you know they have it to give . I once was in a very desperate, near life changing situation and this "friend" used a long-winded "lending money destroys relationships" explanation as to why they could not assist...instead of simply saying no. I would have been totally fine with that if they did. I was asking for something I surely would have paid back but I was not even given the chance, and this was the only time EVER in all of my years of knowing this person that I asked for anything.
    Needless to say, they are no longer in my life. It taught me a huge lesson about focusing even more on self-sufficiency and about who really gives a damn about you and your well-being when you're near rock bottom.

      Do you see how your perception that they SHOULD have helped you crept in? Nobody owes anybody anything! Because they did the wise thing doesn't mean they don't care about you. Neither a borrower nor a lender be. I learned that the hard way by giving, it changed the dynamics completely in the worst way.

      @@bananabread2833 I hear you, good point. My main point, though, was I would have absolutely been fine with a blatant no. And, I never felt this person (or anybody) SHOULD have assisted me. However, I thought (and was wrong to assume this) that they might have at least offered emotional support for my urgent situation but did not. Upon deeper reflection later, I realized going forward in life I have zero expectations of people giving a damn about me and what goes on in my life. I just do me and make sure I cover all my bases to the fullest.

And if you give me a date, then let’s work towards that date; if you can’t make the date, communicate, don’t just say nothing. And I agree, be realistic; if you asking for money you know you know you don’t have or can’t pay back, don’t even. Also, if you haven’t said two words to me, but you can ask me for money, you’re asking the wrong person. I’m Dominican American, and my family in DR doesn’t even know how I’m doing, how my kids are, but as soon as they get my number or find my social media, they’re asking me for Jordans, iPhones, and Zara 😅.

      I think the reason people say that is because you don’t want the unnecessary stress that happens when people don’t or can’t pay you back. Giving money to family and friends is as if you burnt the money. If they haven’t paid they’re debts you know not to lend them money again. And also, loaning money to people is the quickest way to remove them out of your life. Be selective in choosing who to loan money to.
      Before loaning the money, you can go as far as asking for their credit history.

      Not really... just invite the drama free, non begging ones to your home for Thanksgiving. Folks create a new family when the old is uncooperative.

    Imagine asking a billionaire for $5000 and he says no. That’s the equivalent of a person asking him for a penny.

    As a celebrity, you have to stand your ground and tell your family member NO to money! They aren’t obligated to your MONEY 💴! If I ever get rich 🤑 I will not just hand out money to my whole family unless they are already fwm ‼️💯 My money, my choice!

      Exactly. You can’t give money freely to family. Then you’ll be broke and have to ask for money yourself. And they probably won’t be so generous.

    It's definitely a balance, it's really hard to mix business, friendship and family together, if you do you might wanna write up contracts so everyone knows their part, what's expected of them, if you agree to your pay then they should do the job with excellance, even if they feel they should be paid more, that's how you get more the next time. Always ask for more than your willing to accept, I learned the hard way

    Years ago Madonna’s brother in law said she still takes his call because he never asks for anything.
