Blood Over Budget

Financial security in your pocket and emotional connections in your heart are both important. Maintaining bonds with relatives and friends is also a wonderful thing to do. However, if maintaining those bonds puts your own family under heavy financial pressure or affects your family's stability, then it is not a good choice. Good relatives are those who are understanding and compassionate, sending just a modest gift or a well-wishing message is considered appropriate and acceptable. The value of friendship or kinship is indeed important, but what is even more vital is the financial stability and well-being of our own family.
