[Kate26816]

I am in the position you describe – affluent through a combination of good luck and hard work (probably in that order). My sister is not as well off – but she dropped out of college (parents paid everything, and she is plenty smart) in her senior year! So, while luck may help, she was immature. She complains her husband doesnt work enough overtime to bring home more money, but didnt get a job until her kids were in highschool. I’d say, still immature. I have ‘loaned’ her money for car and house downpayments, but I keep my income and savings a secret from the whole family. They certainly know I am ‘well-off’, but I dont want to be pressured into giving my sister more money than I do – I think that is up to me. I think my situation sounds unusual – but how many people share this?
