Please stop doing this,

My younger cousins get help with living expenses from their grandmother and I never did. My parents use this to bully me into buying real estate that I cannot afford on my own with no help every time I see them.

This has ruined holidays. They can’t understand how someone making $15/hour can afford a one bedroom in NYC and I can only afford a 2 bedroom living in DC making 300k.

Every time I explain how common this is that other people do this, they call me entitled.

Finally I said the topic is off limits until they hand me a big check and told them that I never asked for their opinion.[/quote]

That is your parents problem, not an anonymous posters problem. My in-laws kept asking why we never traveled with them like their friends kids do. We kept point out that their friends were funding the trips for their kids. At first I don’t think they believed us, but then asked around and lo and behold we were right. When they invited us on a trip they funded, we accepted. [/quote]
