How Do Fastlaners Deal With Family

[AFMKelvin]

This question is directed at the millionaires.

I want to know how you deal with slowlane family members asking you for money. Do you ever loan them any? And do they ever try to shame you into giving them some? How about all the cousins you never knew existed?

It really does not happen that often. We usually give them the money when they ask. Not a big deal to us. I have said no to money for business ventures that have not been thought through well enough.

btw... We don't loan the money very often. It is usually just a gift. Loaning money leads to relationship problems.

Yeah, it would be different if the guys here were celebrities who surrounded themselves with drunks and partyholics.

The rappers and other rockstars live a pretty fun rewarding life, but a massive drawback is that the general public will recognize you instantly.

That opens you up to more "cousins" realizing you've made it who ask you to pony up. I think more millionaire celebrities get upset about the lack of meaningful relationships with these people, seeking out others who work as hard as they do.

Not to mention, these careers are usually still classified as slowlane.

So, a true fastlaner probably won't ever reach celebrity status quite the same way.... discounting giga-billionares and authors. Sure, millions of people may be effected by you... but they probably don't even know your name.

They know all about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West and what they named their baby though.
