How am I supposed to share my successes with people, if all it does is come around and bite me in the a$$?
I want to tell my stories with friends and family because I'm proud of what I accomplish and because I want to inspire them in turn... instead it's just leading to resentment and people expecting handouts.
In the past few days I've had friends ask me for money for a variety of reasons. I say no (politely). All I get in return is vitriol. 'Dude, why the **** not, I was with you that night you made $x, so why can't you help me? Am I not important enough for you?' 'Dude, I thought we were friends, and you say no when I need a favor?' 'Hey, I really need xyz, so can you lend me $xyz? I don't know when I can pay you back, but I promise I will... one day!'
I lent some money to a family member after a sob story about needing money to buy pet food for the pets... the hell do you have pets for if you can't feed them? It made me very uncomfortable and I don't want to do it again. Money and friends/family do not mix well.
People are expecting me to pay for them when we're out and about too. I'm responsible for me, no one else!
I'm really frustrated right now, and I just had to vent this in the private forum.
LOL, it's getting lonely out there and I'm not even rich yet, not even close!
