Speaker 1 (00:01):
All right.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
This is from Regimee on Steve HARBFM. Regine says, I
grew up in a big family where money was always tight,
so I learned early on to be careful and save
whatever I could. Now I'm in my late twenties, living
on my own, and after years of grinding and being frugal,
I've got a solid financial cushion. While with my family

(00:22):
over Thanksgiving, my sister asked about savings accounts, and I
stupidly showed her mind, And now she wants me to
help her out with Christmas gifts for her kids. I
love my family, but I worked really hard to get
where I am, and I don't want to become their
bank just because I made better choices. I know I
shouldn't have shown her my savings, but what's done is done.

(00:44):
How can I delicately set some boundaries without ruining my
relationship with her? Wow?

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Oh no, you gotta do it. Lie, Well, you gotta
come up with a lie right now?

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Like what I want to hear this? What should she say?

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Oh that was a bank robbery and oh they ain't
take them with my money. That ain't gonna work. Man,
I don't know where they got my account number for you,
get up the note in the tailor's face and took
it out of my account, all of it.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
I don't think, yeah, she's gonna buy that one? Well
you know, yeah, well oh that's your response.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Well see, I don't think she has children and her
sister does. Yeah, so she said, girl, don't worry about nothing.
I'm gonna have some stuff over the house. And since
you don't know how to shop for kids, under shop
and it's one of them, two cheap toys, real cheap. Oh,

(01:53):
some bubbles, get them some bubbles. I just told you
that they robbed the bank. What do you want me
to do? I just told you that.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Weren't you listening?

Speaker 1 (02:08):
I don't get no money in January? See this how
you do it when you don't have kids? Buy one
of them the toy and buy the other one the batteries.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
That's just too cheap.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
See yeah, do that.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
You can't do that. Don't steal her nieces? And the
what about if from something? If she if she makes
them something.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Nobody won't know. Little regular homemade set up.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
She wasn't one to spend her money.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Shoulders don't fit, she can make them some holler all
off to the side. Now, I don't had that before. No,

to help me with all my outfits when I went to.

couple hundred dollars for Christmas for the kids. Gonna make it.

Speaker 2 (03:07):

hundred dollars for your niece and sell me your savings account.
She is concerned that you know it will.
