[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Coming from the other side my family is pretty obviously jealous of how much my husband and I make and it makes me sad.  I can't talk about something I bought at auction because I feel the jealously or even my own fears about the future because they brush off my concerns that our careers aren't 100%.  It just puts you in a position where you don't want to talk about trips or anything other than mundane topics.   Also I've been asked to bail out an irresponsible family member.   In your case have you even told your sister that you're having problems?   [/quote]

Yes, our family knows DH lost his job. I'm sure it can be awkward at times for you to feel like you have to temper what you say but is it so important to you to talk about what you spend money on? There are so many other things to talk about... Current events, politics, children, ask how other people are... If I'm around someone I know who doesn't have a lot of money I don't talk about my spending or my money. [/quote]
