Re: How much is too much?
I am not married yet so I cant be specific here, but whether its your parents, siblings, your co-workers, friends, standard should be same for everyone.
my standard is if they go on and on about the same issue and instead of finding the solution, if they use the same weakness to attack someone, if they are so-called educated but i have to stoop to their level and then beaten by their experiences, I end up having no interest in them and their lives. (though i have to be flexible with parents and with siblings)
one should respect, and want to keep them happy even if they are not your in-laws, or your cruel co-worker or the ones who rejected you (i meant your rishta)
no, not at all. if you work your ass off then you should be the boss of your spendings and cash-flow.
anyho, anyone who fears ALLAH SWT believes solely in ALLAH SWT, and dont values money up to the level of consider it a god, which solves all the problems of life.
