Well in some families cousins and aunts/uncles might as well be brothers and sorta mother/father figures; in other families cousins are practically strangers and uncles are guys you see hanging with your dad every once in a while.

Most people are retarded tho. A slight majority of the U.S. hates Donald Trump. Does it matter? Fuck no.

But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own - not of the same blood and birth, but the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. And so none of them can hurt me. No one can implicate me in ugliness. Nor can I feel angry at my relative, or hate him. We were born to work together like feet, hands and eyes, like the two rows of teeth, upper and lower. To obstruct each other is unnatural. To feel anger at someone, to turn your back on him: these are unnatural.

ROI is at 1.9% for the U.S. Dollar so yeah 1-2% is literally right in line with keeping pace. Also, like I said I'm not against giving a $10k gift just be transparent about it and you will both be a lot happier and better off. I literally work at a family business this is how petty disputes start and people get their fee fees hurt. You should either give the gift or give a very nice rate on a real loan otherwise you're likely to regret it.

Okay let me make it simple for you.

Unless they were literal crackheads who somehow managed to get away with never sending you to school (idk where you’re from but if it’s America or another similarly advanced country I highly doubt such a situation would last long) sounds like you’re blaming them because you had the expectation that your parents can teach you about life. Really only experience does that. And you think you’re the only one who had a shitbag uncle? My aunts ex husband was a practically alcoholic shitbag with anger management problems, her and my cousins were staying over with us all the time just to avoid his drunken angry ass. Few years after they divorced his small business went tits up (drinking got worse apparently and general downward spiral) but when he came begging my dad for help he still gave it to him despite everything because In any case he could afford I. I know most of the edgelords that visit this site will say that’s beta behaviour or some immature bs but sometimes all that matters is helping out someone in need. Forgiveness isn’t weakness. If you can’t see that then I feel sorry for you.

this is all predicated upon what you consider success. If happiness or contentment in life=success, then no, none of the above matter. Because money can't buy happiness, neither can good looks, neither can winning. Happiness comes by achieving peace through acceptance. Rich people aren't happy. They are the most miserable people on the planet. Sure, they can pretend to be happy and they try with every last dollar to convince people they are. But they're flat out fucking miserable empty people.
