Re: The money tree is drying up
Amana!
What about your husband? What does he feel about it?
If he feels that the demands are unjustified then he must stop. He is under no obligation to pay for luxuries, like cars and jeeps and gifts for far relatives.
People who develop a habit of taking money from others, keep on taking from others.
Many young men in Pakistan have ruined their own lifes coz their reltives gave them easy money.
I have similar issues with my father who kept giving money to his relatives for various things while we used to long for a better car and a better house like our friends. My father still does the same and at times he had asked me to give money to some of the relatives, but, i told him, Abbu jee they are not going to get my money, period. My father was upset initially but now he understands.
The other side of story: Pakistan is almost as expensive as any other country in the world, may be more. The money that u might think is a lot for Pakistan may actually be nothing. Beleive me an average house of 5 people has normal expenses of 1000 dollars per month.
