Entitlement Mentality:Have you ever had someone feel like you owe him or her financial help?

[Fidelia]

There are people that always act as if other people owe them financial help. They easily guilt trip you and make you feel bad if you don't give them financial help. Have you ever had such people in your life? How did you handle such people?

Yes i have a lot of people like that around me, not just financial entitlement but in other aspects as well. I have learn to ignore them.

It is almost like everyone around me is entitled. Some of them are my age mates and some are older. They just feel like I am very rich and I should be giving them money.

Have you tried talking to them about this? Let them understand that you also have other responsibilities, so you might not be able to give them what they want everytime.

I have not really experienced this. But I saw a lady in my street beg my father for rent. And she took offence when my father didn't have to give her. She said my father is stingy.

I do not know anyone personally who has this entitlement mentality, but I know there are people like this. If I encounter someone with such mentality, I'll just ignore him/her.

I have some relatives that have this mind set. They believe that other people have financial obligations to help them

Yeah a lot of family members are on this table. They believe you are owing them as you are working. Forgetting that you have your own financial worries
