Your siblings and money

Mrs_Ryan

My family is pretty fractured at the minute as my brother has stolen tens of thousands of pounds from my mum and likes to play the victim. If it weren’t for the fact he owes me three hundred quid I would cut him off myself. He thinks everyone else should hand over their money for him to fritter away!
I feel sorry for my sister though- she gets a lot of grief for ‘wasting’ money but I don’t think it’s through any fault of her own.
I’m the youngest and generous to a fault- I hate to see anyone go without and I think that’s my downfall.

I only have the one younger sister & our attitudes to money seem to be similar. I have a child to leave my "fortune" to but she doesn't. This does make some difference to our attitides to money, which is to be expected. I believe she has recently changed her will as one of the previous beneficiaries has shown a tendency to fritter (as in throw away) money just because she can. So fundamentally we have exactly the same way of looking at money really, all that is different is our circumstances.
