Is it very challenging being the only financially successful person in your family?

[Fidelia]

When it comes to financial success, some families are lucky to have a number of people that are financially successful. For other families, they might just have one financially successful person. How challenging is it for one to be the only person that has succeeded financially from his or her family?

Though it always feel good but it comes with challenges as you might be forced to take on almjst all the financial issues of the family

Try as much as you can to make sure other people in your family also prosper financially. No matter how much you are rich, and every other person in your family is broke, you would soon join them to be broke or you have a bad reputation.

If you are the only person who is rich in the family, you can help other family members financially when necessary, provided that they will not misuse your money.

Yes it can be very challenging as there would be a lot of responsibilities on your plate to handle or sort out.

In my country, they say that those that don't have are a constant problem to those that have. It is what it is.

If success is measured by money and position, then I might not be able to beat the success of my older siblings who have become officials and have several businesses, even one of my older siblings is a colonel in the army. In a family, it is not wealth or position that is measured but harmony among siblings.

It can lead to complex dynamics like feelings of guilt, resentment from family members who may feel you don't want to help them

You would easily come down financially when you are the only one that has money among the larger family. Pick one or two people and build them up financially too.

it is not good to want to do it all alone. The best bet will be to empower others to do their best and make money

When you are the only wealthy person in your family, it makes you selfish. Families grow when members grow. People that are doing well should raise others.

It's very challenging indeed. In fact the financial experts say that a millionaire being surrounded by poor people is likely to be poor.

 

[Kross]

Being the only financially successful person in your family opens you up to jealousy and financial pressures.

 

[Min George]

The pressures of being the only financially successful person in the family can make the person become poor all of a sudden.

 

[Stardom22]

The main problem with that is the reason that there would be a higher dependency ratio with most people in your circle being poor.

If we are good at it then it won't be a bad idea to help our other family members to learn because this will reduce our burden but if they are not interested to learn then you need to do it yourself only

I don't see myself as successful. I'm far from it, but I'm the only one helping my family. Honestly, it's a real struggle, particularly with my current health problems. I sometimes feel like quitting, but that's not an option.

I know it can be challenging but we need to see if we can manage and its more like a duty and moral responsibility towards our family and friends.

That's the reason some people are not able to have financial breakthrough all their lives. When they have to carry the entire financial weight of their families on their head.

I know it can be hard but many people in India are doing it and have done that for years because they believe family is most important for them and if they are blessed with this skill and knowledge then they need to do it anyhow
