The black wealth curse of horrible relatives – Dr Boyce Watkins

When I was a kid, my father told me that there is nothing lower than a person who will steal from his own family.

I used to think about People on drugs and things like that.

But then I realized that there are also people who will borrow the hard earned money of their relatives and never pay them back.

When you take something and don’t give it back, that is basically the same as stealing.

This is a massive drain on many of our families, as we have loved ones who take from others but act as if they don’t have anything to give.

Some people think the world owes them something.

also, stealing from your relatives in this way breeds a lack of trust that infects many families, to the point where many people in our community won’t even do business with the people they are related to!

If you are building wealth in your family, you must develop a culture where this kind of behavior is UNACCEPTABLE.
