[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I bet most people who have been poor help more people than those who have never been poor.  I am OP and I pay my brother's phone and utilities, paid for all of my mothers extras, and my entire career has been in public interest law.[/quote]

You are going to regret this eventually. Ask me how I know. One, because the helping never ends, and how you help in one way begets more helping--you help with getting a house, then you need to commit to visiting them at that house and helping them there, even if it far away. And two, the people you are helping see your aid as so normative that they don't really see it as help and think they have achived what they have despite "challenges", so they feel special about that, as if they have actually worked harder and achived more than you, because you had it "easy".

Also are you African American? Welcome to the "black tax". Stop paying the "black tax". [/quote]

What Is the Black Tax?
The Black tax refers to the financial burden borne by Black people who have achieved a level of success and who provide support to less financially secure family members. These monetary transfers are generally made between middle-class and well-to-do Black people and relatives who are struggling to make ends meet.

The term encompasses the financial transactions and the toll they take on the well-off family member, who may be unable to build wealth like their white peers who don’t share the same financial obligation[/quote]
