[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]op here.

I began to gave money away a long time ago when I was still poor. One relative used the money to rent cars every month for several years before I bought my first car. Another one used the money to eat out everyday.  I am not surprised that they have became even poorer by now.

As for luck, the only luck I have is that I was born relatively smart but I attribute success (if any) to my hard working , often 10 hours day and often without breaks on weekends.

I am not going to teach them the virtue of hard working but am thinking about giving them real stuff not cash in the future. I have tried to teach one young relative skills that i think are important but so far he has shown no interests. Hence the frustration.  [/quote]

Don't do it. You don't sound generous and you are doing it to make yourself feel better. And I would re-think the luck part. Everyone I know (us included) is successful not just because of hardwork. Many people who are poor work hard. The thing that separates us is luck and opportunity. Best not to be smug. [/quote]
