i am by far, my brother and sister are upper middle class to wealthy. and my other sister is not doing as well but still lives well, because she has to take care of the kids, while her husband is the only one working. they budget, but get by. she is planning on going back to work when her kids are both in school. me im poor. and mom and dad did fine for themselves. even if i go back to work, i will still be the poorest in the family. im the f up in the family, and as my 8th grade english teacher said, the one with an attitude, which i thought was a bit odd coming from a guy who worshipped edgar allan poe.

Financially I am pretty poor. Spiritually I believe I am one of the more richer one’s.
Basically I am quite happy with what I have and have accepted my lot in life so I tend not to play the compare game.

Somehow no. My sister that lives in rural Kenya and lives on about $100 a month is the poorest. But of my family that lives in the states I’m the poorest.

I’m the poorest by a long shot. My siblings and parents are well off. Although, my parents didn’t become well off until they got much older.

I’m better off financially than most my family,
Mostly because I don’t have kids.

I have an older sibling that lives in London. So fairly affluent.
Immediately younger sibling is earning double what I am.
And youngest is still in school. He’ll probably do well as well.
I’m expecting things to change due to the nature of my thus far recovery. We’ll see, this degree is getting tricky.
(If you were to see how each of us live, you’d think I’m the wealthiest because I’m good with money)

yeah mom and dad help me alot, and are kind enough to take me on trips 3 or 4 times a year. we are going to colorado at the end of the month and i don’t have to pay for a thing.
but i cut dad’s grass for him and help him out on projects throughout the year. i also pay rent, most of my money goes toward rent to dad.

One of my cousins in Florida doesn’t work and lives with his dad. My other cousin in Florida is a food-server and makes tips. She and I are the next poorest. The rest of my family work in middle class jobs and are doing fine financially. I’m on SSDI - $1,890 a month.

I’m the poorest in my immediate family but probably wealthier than some of my extended family members.
