Nosey aunty

My aunty is very nosey and im not sure if IABU or it is just how the older generation are.

She will always ask about work and how much money I make, how much money I have in the bank etc.

I fins this really rude and intrusive.

My aunt and uncle both love money, 3 out of their 4 kids have very good jobs, and one of my cousins retired at 40 (now 44).

I have recently moved house and just like they did with my sibling, my aunt and uncle will want to visit to have a good nose and ask a bunch of questions.

I am not really comfortable with this and DH finds them both rude.
It is harmless it’s just more annoying then anything else.

My mum says it’s because she hates the thought of anyone else in the family earning more money then her own kids and having a better house etc.

When I just got a new car she asked my mum what reg the car was, what make and how much it cost before doing a check on it. Very weird.

AIBU to not want them to come round?

Well you've solved the problem then, doubt you'll ever hear from her or cousins again!

I expect your Mum will cop the flack but that's her problem.
