[quote=Anonymous]My DH makes a substantial amount of money, in the seven figures, and we feel very fortunate for that.  He works extremely hard and does not have much free time at all, resulting in us usually only having one annual vacation in the summer.  DHs family is spread out all over the world. So we usually rent a large house somewhere and pay for it and tell everyone in my family and his fami,y they are invite.  They need to pay to get there but we pay the house, which usually comes with a housekeeper so it is like staying in a hotel.  we often pick up the check when we eat at restaurant or do a large activity that costs money like go to the movies or a museum or rent a boat.  We have been doing this for a few years and it was working well until some family members, who don't make the best financial decisions, started asking for money for new clothes for holiday, soending money, etc.  these relatives are not poor, not poor at all.  We started to feel like a bank. And that we were subsidizing others' poor financial decisions.

In the end, bc DH really wanted large family vacations I usually let it go.  Life is short, family is important, don't let the big picture get away from you.[/quote]
