[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You'll lose your sister, OP. Poor (in comparison) relatives tend to vanish from rich people's lives. Sorry.[/quote]

OP here. I reallly reallly don't want to do that. How can you maintain a relationship with a family member who inherits wealth while you're "poor" yourself? How can I overcome my feelings of envy and jealousy and inadequacy to still be genuinely in her life 100%?

Seriously, you have to adopt releasing envy as a spiritual practice. You have discovered its challenge for you and how serious it is - #1 of all the deadly sins! It is serious for everybody. You will gain a lot, personally and in character and wisdom that you can pass along, from tackling this challenge.

That said, the fortune of your sister is also the fortune of all her family. You can all benefit from her husband's connections, perspective, good will. You are not outside looking in, really, but potentially coming into the fold (unless you take an envious attitude). You will benefit more if you can appreciate them and love them as the lovable people they are, and not see dollar signs coming between you every time you interact. [/quote]
