Four siblings were given a financial choice by their parents, each choosing a different path that led to an argument over money.
A Good Deal
There were four siblings who were offered a deal by their parents. They could either take $25,000 as soon as they graduated from high school, or wait until they graduated from college, got a trade, or were self-supporting for the next four years and get $125,000.
Journey of Life
The siblings made their choices, and their lives took different paths.
Three Different Paths
The two oldest brothers went to college and used the money to start their lives. The third brother, however, took his $25,000 and moved to Southeast Asia. He lived a life of luxury for three years until he ran out of money and had to come back home.
Back to Reality
When he returned home, his parents welcomed him with open arms and let him live there while he found a job. He eventually decided to go to university and work on getting his teaching degree.
Sensible
Meanwhile, the youngest sibling just graduated and is using the money to put a down payment on a house.
A Cheeky Proposal
However, the third brother approached him and asked if he would share some of his money so he could buy a car. The youngest sibling refused, saying that he had fulfilled his end of the bargain.
Rude Brother
The third brother called him a “stupid man” for not seeing the world and accused him of being a “greedy jerk” for not sharing his money.
Not His Fault
However, the youngest sibling argued that the third brother should have done something more meaningful with his money than just partying in Southeast Asia.
He Earned It
Their mother overheard their argument and told the third brother to leave the youngest sibling alone. She reminded him that the money was earned through hard work and that the youngest sibling didn’t have to share it.
He Asked Others
The two older brothers also refused to give him any money, saying that he should have been more responsible with his own.
He Worked Hard
Although it may have seemed unfair, the youngest sibling stood firm in his decision, knowing that he had worked hard to earn his money.
The Internet Responded
This commenter wrote, “Your brother is being greedy and entitled. But frankly, your parents were very irresponsible to offer this option to an 18-year-old.”

Another person wrote, “It also sounds like he just floated around Asia, never working and trying to establish himself there. That’s why he didn’t make it there.”
A Final Comment
A second person posted, “Don’t waste energy on feeling like it’s not fair to him. He had the exact same offer as the rest of you and made his choice. You enjoy your hard-earned funds and buy that house and furnish it to the nines.”
