@alexrosem_: Elders in the Black diaspora are largely not invested in providing community support to their offspring—and communal support is the chief cornerstone to building generational wealth. But what do I know? #fyp #foryoupage #generationalwealth #blackdiaspora #jamaicans #caribbeanpeople #badbitchwithalawdegree
I’m AA and this is true. I asked my grandmother to help me co-sign a loan to go to college she told me no but, gave my brother her car, paid for his rent etc.. they do this a lot to the girls

Not only that but if they do help you in the slightest bit, best believe it’s gonna cost you your mental health 🤦🏽♀️

Lonely suffering but the entire village will wear the success of the individual. It’s unfair

My family letting me struggle on my own didn’t make me do nothing but go no contact and move far away from them

But, they will put money on a wayward family member's books that's in jail.🤷🏾

Right they aren’t setting up children to do better than them. You are their retirement plan.

The car example was so specific 😅 mine wouldn’t even let me buy the car off them. Sold it to a random instead and watched me struggle to get around a city with horrible public transportation 🥰

The Dreaded Widow :
my dad is a boomer. had five houses he sold, before that he was the landlord renting out rooms in those houses. he knows I'm in a bad place financially after losing my husband and despite watching me languish in grief and debt he would rather try to stage an intervention than give me money he definitely has.

My mom kicked me out my grandma house and told me it’s time to fly out the birds nest. Meanwhile she has lived off her mom for 35+ years.

And then the one person who tries to share gets DRAINED by the ones who feel they have to squeeze everything out of you in case it runs out before they get some.

They think any bit of help will somehow make us entitled and ungrateful. They resent us for having more than they did and therefore they love watching us struggle.

To add: Sometimes they do offer “help” that’s extremely unhelpful or come with a ton of questions to get into your business.

It’s so low emotional intelligence. I try empathizing but after the intentional sabotage, I’m done.

My father made an irreversible decision when he retired that would have guaranteed I’d be set no matter what I did. It required a minor sacrifice on his part, and he refused to do it. My mom did it.

I’m AA and this is so real. My mom helps a lot but only wants me to go to a certain level. Otherwise, I’m hit with the jealousy and discouragement.

My family has done this but the pick and choose who they deem needs help while others get nothing.

The book “Family Wealth” by James Hughes talks about breaking this mindset and how the family should leverage resources (time, effort, access and money) for all members of the family.
