 Pretend to be poor: the strategy has gone too far.
Money often complicates the dynamics of the family in the most unexpected ways. In this story, the couple decided to pretend to be financially trying to avoid constant requirements for money from relatives. What began as a simple attempt to maintain their inheritance was in the ongoing shadow of the spiral and now faces the challenge of maintaining a crime.
Here’s the whole story:
My husband and I pretended to be poor – and surprisingly it worked. We started this mountain because my family treats someone with money as an ATM.
A few years ago we inherited a decent amount and almost immediately began to indicate that we should share and help them. To avoid all these requirements, we decided to act as if we were fighting financially.
What started as small fibers has grown to complicated power. We claimed that we could not afford things such as dining or paying accounts. My family fell on it and started offering us clothes, canned food, and even money.
Once my mom saw me driving a new car. She stopped, then carefully approached me and asked how I could afford it. I told her it was rent. It did not seem to be convincing, and then I realized that our act was harder to maintain. We were thinking now: should we come clean or continue pretending?
When a couple complicates the network of lies, they face a difficult decision. Should they continue the facade to avoid other requirements for the family, or to clean their situation and risk revealing the truth? The pressure to maintain this fraud is increasing, and the couple must now decide whether to maintain the law for the emotional tax it collects or whether they should jump and accept honesty, regardless of the consequences.
