And those of who have it relatively easy, have to live with the guilt of telling all our family members no all the fucking time.

If you’re family is constantly asking for money then they are shitty.

It depends on why they’re asking. If they’re asking because they’re irresponsible, that’s one thing. If they’re asking because they are legitimately struggling against systemic issues, then it’s another.

Life is a lot more complicated than you’re implying, and family should be there to support each other.

Sometimes that irresponsibility is a systemic issue. Low income home life leads to lack of education, drug addiction, crime, etc.

Some people wouldn’t know what to do with money even if they had it.

That’s right on all points.

And a society as rich and advanced as ours should be there to support people in all cases. In the highest of highs, to help them responsibly manage their money, and the lowest of lows to help put their lives back together when they fail.
