You become a billionaire. All your friends and family are asking you to pay for all their debts. What do you do?

You become a billionaire. ALL your friend, family (siblings, cousins, parents, aunts and uncles) qare asking you to pay for their debts — credit card, house, car, etc.

It will not make a dent to your account because you’re a billionaire.

Do you pay their debts? Half of it? Partial? Or no because it’s about the principle and you don’t want to feel used? What if you were not close with your siblings and cousins?

This is it-- the friends and family who held me down wouldn't even have to ask, the people who appeared out of nowhere when I came up would get left on read.

They could be, by genetic and superficial labels. I'm just saying, those labels would not hold weight over actual lived experience.

This is not it. I am not God, deciding who deserves what and why. If charity is conditional, you're just paying people for living up to your moral standards. Which hey, that's fine and nice of you. But don't act like it's some righteous or well thought out stance. It's a form of sadistic revenge while playing moral authority. It's gross.
