My family is always asking for money! What should I do?
My mom and sister live together, along with my sister's 3 kids. I love them very dearly and they mean the world to me. They are very poor, and they are always asking me & my husband for money. We paid over $1500 last month to rent them a house in a new state because they hated where they were living. We also paid their car payment and sent them money for food. Now the 1st is almost here and they dont have any money for the rent. My mom cant keep a waitress job and my sister for some reason wont get a job. I am the only one they can count on. What am I supposed to do? I am only 23 and have been married less than a year. I am a full time college student and my husband and I dont have very much money. But I dont want to refuse them because I care about my neices and nephew so much. Does anyone have any advice? Has anyone else gone through this?
How can i ask santa for a laptop the right way?
So last XMas you asked for a laptop, but you proved you couldn't be very responsible by the grades you got... so your parents gave you the money and made you buy your own. WTF? And now.... THIS XMas... you want another laptop? In this particular case, if I was your father, I would say NO... LEARN TO APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE. So, in order to know the right thing to say to your parents to get them to actually buy the laptop as opposed to just giving you the money, I think one would need to know your parents pretty well.
What is something you consistently asked Santa for as a child but never got?
I am 64 years old, and have a number of strokes, so my memory - which was never all that great - is really bad. But on the whole, I don’t remember ever being disappointed as a child at Christmas. And we lived about 45 minutes from Pittsburgh is what is basically a city in Appalachia, we did not have an awful lot.I remember I must have been maybe 6 years old asking for a clock for my room, don’t even think I knew how to tell time yet. And Santa brought the most elegant clock with Roman numerals and an alarm! It’s maybe 6–7 inches square , it looks almost exactly like this clock on Ebay:It had one of those old thick cloth cords that had apparently been worn through, as my father had wrapped about four inches of the cord in black electrical tape. But I was just so happy to have a grown up alarm clock. I still have that clock, and it is still running fine.I had an elderly friend with whom I worked at the Thrift Shop years ago. She was nearly ninety, and one day someone donated this very old baby doll, and I thought she was going to cry. I asked her what the matter was, and she told me that she had grown up very poor in Boston, back during the depression, and she had about a dozen brothers and sisters. One Christmas Eve before they left for the Midnight Mass, her parents opened the doors to the parlour so that they could view the tree, and she saw this beautiful baby dolly that she had been wanting and asking for.When they got up the next morning, she was crushed to find out that the dolly was for her older sister, and 85 years later, that wrenching moment still brought tears to her eyes….
Am I asking for too much for Christmas?
That is a bit much maybe just ask for the boots. Or the backpack and a few small things the economy is I not too good right now. I never as for anything over $100 total I may ask for a movie or a note book. Last year I got a Kindle fire as a gift for both christmas and my birthday which is a month later. But as someone pointed out it may depend on your family's income my family is 3 kids ( 2 of us are adults now ) and our mom so that's why I don't ask for much my brother has yet to understand. Even when it came to "santa" I wouldn't really ask for much If you really want that expensive stuff but are worried it maybe too much to ask your parents for you can do what I did when I was about your age rake leaves shovel driveways in your neighborhood.

How can I ask God for money and richness?
When I was younger I asked God to give me wealth.It worked right up until a business I owned collapsed and I liquidated everything.Then I pastored a church thinking, "We'll build it and I'll write books. That's God's plan to make us rich."For ten years the church grew and we struggled financially.I changed careers and started my current financial advising business. I thought, "Finally, this is how we'll become rich." We struggled for the first five years.Somewhere along the way, though, my prayer changed to, "God, bless us so we can be a blessing."I stopped focusing on becoming wealthy and simply focused each day on what I could do to bless the people I had the opportunity to help.Many of those couldn't help me financially but I could certainly help them.One evening, a couple of years ago, I was thinking about it. I was surprised to discover we'd grown rich in all the most important ways even to a degree financially.Somehow I'd absentmindedly forgotten to ask God for richness yet was surprised with some.I only wish I'd been so absentminded a little earlier on.
What if your friend lend you some money and never asked for a return though he talks to you every month?
What is the question here? If the money was lent to you by a friend, pay it back. Friends are neither banks nor Santa Clause. You neither received a loan nor a gift. Be a friend and get this sorted as soon as you can.If it’s haunting you pay it back even faster.By the way, it must be a great friend who neither pushes you to pay back, nor abandons you over this. Honor this friendship by doing your best to settle this, and be prepared to return the favour.
For WWE fans, need help convincing my mom to buy me........?
Okay, the best thing you need to do is that when you talk to your mom you have to be gentle and such. Don't whine because she would think you aren't being mature, tell her how you can accept this as a gift so that it would save up some time. If she still isn't buying it then save money! old school; but your mom would know that you are serious about this.
How much money do you spend on your kids for Christmas?
I think some of it depends on how much you have to spend. Some years we have more than others. I usually get each a good gift, then throw a few extras in there. They are older now so they pretty much tell me what to get them. When they were younger we could really only afford 100-150 each and it was perfect for that age. I have 2 boys. Now, it's about 250 or so, and it's just right for them now too. If we had more, I'd spend a little more, but you don't want to always spend too much, or they won't appreciate what they have, and will expect it every year. As she gets older, mostly make what you get her more important than what you spend, and she'll appreciate things. Though at 3, she'll love just getting a ton of stuff, even if none of it is super expensive. ^^ We used to do it the best present was from santa, buit as they started getting older, the best ones were from us, because the whole "santa can afford it" for that one expensive present got to us. If the big one is coming from us, they know we saved and made sure they got what they really wanted. ;) You asked about traditions, here is ours. Immediate family, like with my brother, mom, step-dad, etc get together at mom's on Christmas eve and exchange presents. Christmas morning the kids get the ones from us, and then later in the day we go out to my grandmothers, and then just appreciate the holiday. Food, family, card games, stories, etc. There used to be presents, but with everyone struggling, last year we decided no presents there, except buying for grandma (or their mom of course) Being there is more important than presents anyway.
