Hello everyone, welcome to my blog. There is something troubling me and I have to share it with you.
I have these relatives that always demand money from me whenever they are in need. I have tried severally to teach them how to do what I earn money from, but they outrightly rejected it.
They have all the time to socialize and have a quality sleep but I have very few hours of rest in a day, though my doctor recommended quality rest for me. I'm not trying to be a workaholic, but I understand that I can only work now to save for old age.
I work extremely hard to save up and invest, but my relatives keep dragging my efforts to the mud. This is Christmas season and I have not gotten myself one Christmas gift, yet I had to spend money on them. I know it's not compulsory to give them, but which person would be comfortable seeing a relative thrown out to the streets when you can do something to help?
Yesterday was I called and informed that they would be ejected out of their rented apartment if they don't pay past rent. I had no choice but to give them the money I was saving up for some time. It is no longer funny to me. I feel hurt that they refused to work for themselves and I am the one suffering for it.
If I continue like this, I might end up having nothing to show for all my hard work. We live a communal life here and it is expected of you to help a relative in need, but they are draining me.
The other time, catering for other people's needs pulled me down, yet I don't know how to stop it. My conscience keeps judging me if I choose to ignore them.
Your contributions are urgently needed. I'm hurting that I'm not wasting my money, however, I don't have any reasonable amount of money in my savings.
Please, I need your help. Tell me what to do. I want to ignore them when they ask for my help, yet I feel very emotional each time I see them in need.
