I guess I do sound very jealous don’t I?
It really doesn’t affect me directly, this has been going on for years. Actually those relatives abroad are visiting Pak these days, and they came over and were complaining about how they are being forced to buy their Paki relatives expensive gifts, and how they have to cut back on their own family expenses to buy these things, as they are not very well off themselves. Not only gifts, they are being forced to pay for university fees, daily household expenses and weddings as well. My aunt taking the money says it’s their duty to do this. They wanted my mom to somehow interfere, but she doesn’t want to as it is their family matter.

I felt bad for them, seeing how people are using them for their advantage. Guess that instead of sounding jealous, I should just be grateful I can afford what I want on my own with my money.

I think you just nadz’ed us :-/
