> Word of advice: don't tell your family how much you make either. Your advice is cynical and unhelpful. I have a healthy relationship with my family where talking about wealth, money, and unexpected windfalls is not a problem. Or, conversely, talking about death, disease, unemployment, or breakups. Of course, a healthy non-toxic relationship needs years of hard work and maintenance. The kind of work most people don't want to put in. |

By all parties involved.
You only have control over what you put in, but if the other side isn't interested in playing by the same rules there's often nothing you can do.
I also have a good relationship with my family, but I didn't realize how good I had it until I went to college and met students who were on bad terms with their families, weren't on speaking terms, or were completely estranged. It shocked me at the time, but this is the reality for a lot of people.
