1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:01,319 Speaker 1: All right. 2 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 2: This is from Regimee on Steve HARBFM. Regine says, I 3 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,639 Speaker 2: grew up in a big family where money was always tight, 4 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 2: so I learned early on to be careful and save 5 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 2: whatever I could. Now I'm in my late twenties, living 6 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 2: on my own, and after years of grinding and being frugal, 7 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,920 Speaker 2: I've got a solid financial cushion. While with my family 8 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 2: over Thanksgiving, my sister asked about savings accounts, and I 9 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 2: stupidly showed her mind, And now she wants me to 10 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,279 Speaker 2: help her out with Christmas gifts for her kids. I 11 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,879 Speaker 2: love my family, but I worked really hard to get 12 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 2: where I am, and I don't want to become their 13 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,199 Speaker 2: bank just because I made better choices. I know I 14 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 2: shouldn't have shown her my savings, but what's done is done. 15 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 2: How can I delicately set some boundaries without ruining my 16 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,520 Speaker 2: relationship with her? Wow? 17 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: Oh no, you gotta do it.
