Hmmm sometimes family can snuff out the life of your finances..
My younger brother built a house from start to finish and didn't inform anyone in the family. He invited us to the new house one by one after he finished it.
Mum called me and was fuming. "How could Bee build a whole house without telling me?" how could he? it must be his wife". I told her to leave his wife out of it and reminded her of how she(mum) almost made him to go bankrupt before he picked up and got married. Even the marriage, she didn't approve of it, she said he was too young to marry at 31.
Bee was rich to an extent and was generous back then. Any family problem that they brought to his notice, he would solve it if he had the capacity to. Mum would go to his office and cry for him to help with her own brothers' kids school fees, house rent, etc.
My brother would succumb to the tears. She would call him and cry that an uncle or aunty died and they needed funds for burial, dear brother would drop money. I kept warning him to mind what he drops money for and he should plan his own life too.
At a time, she lied with plenty tears that her husband, our step dad was sick and needed to be operated on, my brother borrowed money and dropped, the loan almost made him crumble cos he later ran into trouble at work and his salary was slashed.
When he picked up financially, I told him to marry and build a house of his own.
Time to marry, mum said he was too young to marry, at 31. I believe she knew that he may not spend like that anymore after marriage, that was why she objected.
He obeyed me and did anyway. I told him to face his new family and place mum a monthly salary, if any need that doesn't concern us directly arises, he should ignore.
That was how he built a house at last without telling anyone.
If mum or some uncles had known, they may not have allowed him to complete it. They would come up with all sorts of bills to collect the whole project money.
The guy has sense now, though he is not rich like before, just comfortable.
I'm so happy for him.
Nice one

ReplyDeleteSome Family are LEECHES… They are just interested in their own benefit. They don’t care if you will survive…🐜🐜🐜
ReplyDeleteThanks God for your brother. Some men will bite their fingers at old age. The same family will say "what did he do with his money when he was young? Sebi he was enjoying it wit his wife"
