I'm Jealous Of The Way My Brother Spends Money!

[@billb945]

My brother always spent every penny he made, swam in debt and had nice things. I always lived within our means, had all the things we needed. I retired early at 59 and only need about 20% of my retirement income(s) and have travelled all around the world. He's worked until 65, is at least ten years in debt and needing to live on food stamps . Stick to the plan, man. Your future self with thank you.

@@loulou9978 Buy a dog. and wish him happiness, then you will be happy. Experts said a long time ago that people with the same interests have long-term relationships, or maybe they should have some stuff in common, which is logical. Sam Vaknin said the best advice about falling in love. Make sure that you didn't fall in love with the feeling of falling in love. You either fall in love with a person, or you fall in love with the feeling of falling in love. It's a big difference. Because just because you like someone doesn't mean he or she is right for you, with their values. He says some people with some narcissistic attitudes fall in love only for the feeling of falling in love, with the honeymoon effect, but when they have to show some respect and fulfill some needs of the other person, give emotional support, they want to break up and they will find another person....So it means they did not fall in love with you they only fall in love with the feeling of falling in love, but without giving some true interest in his needs and your needs. But I wonder maybe the same way they treat themselves. Maybe they don't fulfill their own mental needs so they can not fulfill also the needs of partners. Dr. Joe Dispenza said that people confuse self-love with self-pleasure. Self-love is not about buying expensive stuff or eating cakes every day, but about getting the most important stuff, dignity self-respect, self-love...then the person may give the same to others, give them respect empathy, inspiration etc. You don't need a high level of dopamine from all stuff you buy or from playing videogames... but you need pleasure chemical as serotonin, melatonin, oxytocin.., these chemicals are released in your brain when you feel love empathy, or when you have proper sleep, exercise, etc.

You have the option to finance everything too…just make your choices and stop being jealous of how others decide to live their life

[@fabsmaster5309]

Some people make bad money choices but are good enough at their jobs that they just earn their way out. It’s either that or thry face a financial catastrophe which no one should wish on their friends and family. The only option is minding your own business until their business affects your business.

Owning materialistic things is not the only way to have fun. I think on the debt journey people need to find other ways to find happiness and create fun moments for themselves

[@monicasudbrack2575]

I understand, but say “no” now, so you can say “yes later”. You’re doing the right thing. Keep going!!!

[@ryankelly8077]

Real genuine friends don’t base their relationship off what material things other ppl don’t n do have…

This call is so real, It is tough, however, discipline and consistent always win we just need to stay focus

[@dancq4237]

That was me in the past. I was so stressed because of my debt, I threw up. I'm glad I found my way out.

John and George are one of my favorite pairings.

Why are you jealous of your brother? Be grateful for what you have and don’t worry about others.

When you buy anything with banks money’s, the things doesn’t belong to you. They belong to the bank. I am very proud of having my old minivan title on my hand, on my name and if anything happens tomorrow I can sale and have the money right away. My house belongs to the bank but me and my wife are working to belong to us. Be happy and debt free free free free.

[@ReddingRed]

What is the income difference? How does he know his brother financed things? My brother has no idea of our total income, or our net worth. A resentful person thinks the worst if everyone happier than themselves.

[@AaBbCcDdEeF]

Agree. Jealous people aren’t great.

[@donnabennett5454]

I happen to know when people are faking it because those same people demanded that I help them pay their family member's bills and railed at me about how I never reach in my pockets to help. Any further questions? I have answers.

[@banksldn3036]

I wonder if his brother knows that he be hating on him quietly in his heart and now to the world be careful around people even your family smh 😒

[@johncameron4194]

Live your life and ignore others.

[@mycaddigo]

If we really knew the real story could it be his wife asking why they don’t have a new car fueling resentment … I’ve been thru that ..

[@Fishouta]

I really dont understand john's answers, but george is very clear and it makes sense.

[@janhatcher6991]

he's just jealous of what they have. Just keep living your life and doing what you're doing.

[@wadeharris348]

It is what it is man just stay in your own lane, I've been there and it ruins the joy of life and what you currently have. If anything, see it as motivation to get ahead.

[@michelemalec7452]

For the life of me I don't understand why people can't mind their own business. Ugh.

[@jtcr4199]

I don't generally care for John's opinions, not because there's no value, but I'm just not into that mushy gooey lovey type shit, but after hearing him basically tell the dude to grow up and quit acting like a child, he's not so bad.
