DAILY DILEMMA: Rich But Not The Family ATM

If you were a millionaire, could you tell family no when they ask for money?
Most millionaires are self-made, not born rich. 79% earned their wealth themselves. 
About one‑third of millionaires don’t even feel truly wealthy. Only 32% call themselves “rich.”
Rich families often deal with “economic outpatient care,” where adult relatives expect regular cash.
That pressure triggers stress, guilt, and sometimes resentment among the wealthy. 

“On Kirk Franklin’s new ‘Den of Kings’ podcast – where prominent men like Jeezy, Derrick Hayes, and Tyler Perry discuss real-life issues – Tyler Perry admitted he had to fire his own aunt for not showing up to a job he gave her.

So what would you do? Refuse family and risk hurt feelings?
Or give in and risk your own peace of mind?

Telling them no could feel cold—but boundaries matter.
Saying yes might keep peace but leave you burnt out.
It’s about managing expectations, not just money.
