Good comment.
I am a bit better off than the rest of my family. My side of the family is very happy that I have worked out my fiancial situation (they know where I started from) where I can ER this year. DW's family has not seen where I started and it is harder for them to understand that I stood in their shoes at one time. I don't get the feeling they are trying to get me to fund their excessive spending habits but I do worry about them and most of my comments seem to be falling on deaf ears; except for one of my SILs who I gave the two "bibles" of investing and FIRE. "Four Pillars of Investing" and "Work Less, Live More; The New Way to Retire Earlyl"
I can only hope that they will see the light before it is too late and they have to work until they drop.
