Just having a vent here as I know if I tried talking to family about it they wouldn't understand and probably call me tight.
Think it's got to me more as I have recently gone part time. I just feel I am constantly buying gifts and having to budget for gifts. Birthdays, Christmas, Easter, mother day, Father's Day and so on. I think my problem is is that we have all always spent a similar amount and each other and it is expected. I do want to still buy them gifts but just not be expected to spend as much. My sister for example always tells me what she wants and it's always top end of the budget. When I was full time I suppose it didn't bother me as much. Tbh I use to love giving gifts to my family/friends. Now I have bills/DC and less money.
I do sometime consider saying something but know I will just get called tight. A lot of my family I personally believe are abit reckless with money (not my business I know they can do what they want with it) they always get into debt at Xmas for example I don't want to. AIBU to feel like this? Am I tight?
