There are financial expectations/assumptions  of family, even extended, in certain cultures.[/quote]

God I am glad I was not raised in such a culture. So much entitlement and enmeshment. Gross![/quote]

This is absolutely true. Some cultures have absolutely no problem asking other people for money.

I remember when I worked in a restaurant in college, one of the dishwashers (can’t remember exactly where, but he was from one of the islands - Jamaica or such) came out and asked me for money to buy his daughter a computer. Needless to say, I was in college, this was my only job, and I didn’t have much cash, so I was astounded that he asked. I said no. Apparently, in his culture, it’s ok to ask other people for money. Even if you hardly know them. [/quote]

This happens at my work constantly, like at least twice monthly. "Larla's brother's girlfriend's grandma in X country died and everyone needs to put in $50. Do you have it now, or should I come back tomorrow?" I say not to come back at all.[/quote]

Good for you.  How insane.  I am a charitable person and often donate on GoFundMe but rudely asking me to bankroll a trip cause of my race- not gonna work for me![/quote]
