I know some people working online find it hard to decide whether to let their family know about their income and its source. this problem is one of the major problem that youth working online in some countries are facing. so today we are going to talk about this.
 
 To decide whether to tell your family about your income and its source you will need to identify the things i talked about below


 First of all,             
                -know the ideology of your family member about online businesses ; to tell your family members about how you         
                 generate your income online ,you will need to define their ideology about online businesses by doing so you will   
                 know the right manner of approach you will use.some families define any online business as illegal,so if your family
                 is part of these group don't be in haste to inform them about your source of income and instead try to change their
                 ideology or perspective about that first before informing them.

Second step, those to inform and those not to inform
                -be cautious  about those you inform ; I'm talking about some family member that deep inside them don't want to
                 see you progress,if you are to inform your family about your source of income inform your closest family i mean
                 your mother,father and sibling.

Third and last step, know the amount to mention to your family
               - know the amount you mention to your family;its depend on the basic understanding of the type of family you were
                 born to,by understanding this you will know the amount you are suppose to mention to your family.some family
                 after knowing your income will impose unnecessary responsibilities on you which will stop you from achieving your
                 plans and goal while others will avoid doing that and in any way help you achieve your plans and goal.so when you
                 understand the family you belong to, you will then decide on the right amount to tell them as your income.let take
                 an instance about the importance of this.there was this friend of mine ,he was a trader he invested in bitcoin and
                 when he decide to sell his bitcoin its was at its peak and so he got allot of money from that and he decided to
                 inform his family about that .after they knew this source of income they began to bill him on unnecessary thing and
                 him thinking he got allot of money made him pay for all their unnecessary bills. before the blink of an eye he
                 noticed he was almost bankrupted and he began looking for ways to get some money to invest into trading bitcoin
                 and he got zero that was how that friend of mine became poor again and still his family didn't understand and they
                 thought he was just trying to be wicked,he later on convinced them he was poor.                               
                 So what I'm trying to say about this is be very cautious about the amount of income you will mention to your family.
 I hope this help some of the youth facing this challenges figure out their problems.
                                   What is your say about this

Basically at your level you try to have outline this for your age, because manority of us have grown beyond that age where we need to explain the source of your money to anyone, be it family and friends, know that to make money you need to have privacy and secret, and many believe that bad things happen to whatever they let others know most especially the thing that only them have developed over time.

So for that, we just decide to remain private, I don't think at my age, anyone around me will still be questioning my earnings, most especially when I dont have anh questionable characters.

I have experienced something like this, where I don't know what to explain my work to my family, especially my parents, they ask what I do so that I can earn enough to fulfill my needs, without asking them for more help.

The problem is that they are stuttering in technology which makes me confused about what to explain to them the form of my work, and in the end I showed my work in the open forum on other activities on web3, from how to earn income so that it can become the currency of my country to be used to buy my needs and it was quite helpful, although I did not do according to your specifications OP but maybe the situation we experienced was the same even though in different ways.

Some parents are definitely less tech savvy than others and would just be even more confused if I actually tell them what I was doing. During cases like this, a little white lie won’t hurt. I will explain my job in a way that is easier to understand and a bit more traditional rather than trying to dive into the whole crypto thing.
Each family is different. I am happy to give to my family and not all families will be greedy enough to keep asking you for more. I guess it just depends on the kind of relationship you have with your family.

I don’t need to tell anyone how I make my money except when lawfully required in an investigation. Why should I want to inform my family or friends how I make my money? I expect my friends and family to know from intuition what kind of a person I am, what am capable of or not and how they could come in to support and not being curious as to how as though, they question the process and integrity. It’s unstained man, they’ve got to use that for a stronghold.

When the ops mentioned that working online, he need to specify what works he does online., Sometimes those that engage in illegal work's online can decide to be so scared of telling family about they evil deals online, but for someone like me that work hard to make my money online, I don't deserve the stress of telling anyone about the source of my earnings, but still if the need be, I am proud of my job my job and for that I won't hesitate to let anyone that care to know about it but still is no one business.
Sometimes ago one overzealous neighbor asked me what I do for a living, and my answer to her was, do you want to patronize my business and she say know, and I replied her that unless if she want to bring business deal for me that the only time we have something common to discuss and let her know what I do, so as long as you are not buying from me and you are not selling to me, I don't think anyone have the right to know my source of income or job line.

You are correct and I agreed with you.
It's very important to stay away from people whom you think that doesn't deserved to know your source of income except such person is a underage and is making wave for themselves, what I know is that when someone is up age couples with this our digital economy you don't need the go explain to anyone because lots of people does remote jobs at their various comforts without them sweating to make money. At that point one wouldn't go announcement to any person or even trying to force in words to people who really have been suspecting your indoors of not having to leave home for work.

I have informed my family about my income long before and they are basically aware about my income long before. I usually make my income mainly with crypto currency trading, my family knows and they are quite confident about my income. But since doing all these transactions or trading is illegal in my country, my family informs me about this sometimes and I keep a small business as well as crypto currency trading. But I am not the only source of income in my family but I have more family members who are mainly involved in different incomes due to which my income can have a great impact on my family due to which my income source is not very important.

As long as you are not involved in anything illegal, you do not need to be concerned about the opinions of other people about how you make your own money. Just as this popular proverb says, people will only demand to know your source of income when you are rich, but never your source of income when you are poor. This is the irony of life.

If you are too concerned, based on your society, that online jobs are not acceptable, you may just decide to open up a small business that is physical so that people can see that that is what you do and then get their attention away from you.

I know it can be something very disturbing when parents tries to figure out how their child is generating its source of income when they do not see anything visible that is the source of income. But this shouldn't be a problem because family members expecially parents will always be worried when  their child is unable to raise money for himself and they will still be worried when they see one is able to take care of  needs but not going through stress to do this. This should be a problem  that needs to  disturb ones self, the most important thing is to keep chasing the money because if the money is nowhere to be found in your pocket it will be more problem to you. Forget about what people thinks of how you survive.

There's nothing wrong in letting your family know about your source of income. So long you aren't doing anything illegal online like fraud, what there to be scared about? Most people who find it difficult to tell their families about their sources of income are usually those who engage it criminal activities and their family are solely against it. Parents who pays much attention to their kids would want to know where their child all of a sudden began to produce funds for himself. But if he is able to explain the source of income boldly to his parents then they might not be any reason to scold the child.

Are you what 80+ years old that no one want to ask you how much you are making or under 18 that no one thinks you are earning right now. Well maybe this topic started by OP is f some interest to some but clearly it looks idiotic to me to think how to say to your family that you are earning online, how much and what's the source of earning. I mean you are not doing anything illegal but yeah in the first phase when a youngster starts to earn they prefer not to tell their parents that they are earning but only if the parents have source of income.

If parents have no source of income the siblings have to tell their parents by contributing to family expenses and that's how they can't keep it in secret.

In my place our parents are begining their childs to do some work even online and kids are trying hard to get some work even online so they could make their parents happy. I don't think any kid here want to keep their ways of earning in secret until they are doing anything illegal.

Only when I'm on the wrong side doing things that I know that whenever I'm being spotted I'll run or use something to cover up that's when I'll find it hard to let out what I do to earn my money. And we have many out there on the street that can say out loud what they do for a living or what they do to make their living. The society is rough and the economy it self isn't helping in any way especially the youth but that doesn't stop us from trying as much as we can to do things that won't implicate us, is just nice for your parents to now and be comfortable with what you do to get your money and you mustn't see it as one big thing to even give them an answer, is something you left out after all they are your parents, telling them what you do which seems to be legit gives them multiple joy.

If you're an adult and you're just starting to enter the world of gambling, that's probably okay, as long as we don't allow ourselves to become addicted or greedy to gambling. Because when we become addicted to gambling and we are also adults, I think at this point the shame comes in that our parents know about it.

Others tell their parents right away, and other parents make them understand the pros and cons of gambling, whether physical or online. They also make them understand the consequences of gambling when it is excessive.

Unless you are under some kind of pressure, I don't think there is a need to disclose your source of income to family. No matter how much you earn online, live modestly. Don't try to be flamboyant that's when you start turning eye bros. And depending on the family you come from - conservative or liberal, one doesn't need to give the details of their online activity. Simply say, you do freelance jobs online will suffice. My rule is to live modestly.

These days, if you tell people that you work online, they will assume that you are into fraud. Educating people close to you about what you do is important. They have to know for your reputation's sake. For security reasons, it will be wrong to disclose your income to people you don't trust, especially if the sum is higher than what average workers earn in your country. Only your spouse or your closest relative should know your sources of income and the money you get from them.

Now it is not compulsory that I must give or assist anybody with money. Your friend gave out all he had earned and became poor; that's unwise. Let him go back to those people he assisted with money and ask for assistance, some of them will never render him any help. If you want to sustain your wealth, you have to learn how to say no to people. I can only give people what I can afford, except it is for emergencies such as health. You should always have a budget and you shouldn't exceed funds embarked for charity regardless of the pressure.

For the country where i came from that is very conservative and stick to tradition so, Yep I get the feeling when it comes to deciding when and how to share information about my online income and sources with family, especially in cultures where traditional sources of income are scarce consider how my family might react based on on their standards and expectations. So if may I add some relevance to steps in the main topic here, some might open up to those who's reading here in forum.

First for me is maintaining privacy and security which is common in online businesses, if your online income deals a lot of sensitive information or sensitive work, that would be quite good to keep some of the information off the public radar to avoid potential risks and if you are financially independent and in control of the means of earning your income, you do need to set boundaries with regard to what you share. If you choose to talk about your business, use it as an opportune moment to discuss to your family about the nature and relevance of an online business cause if they understand it they might help you too so making sure your online business is professional and popular can help them gain recognition. And lastly especially like me that came from conservative family, the decision should be in line with your comfort zone, balancing openness too with your own limitations.

There is nothing wrong with not telling your family how much you earn, I think you have learned to live independently even under pressure, not telling them your actual income is the best, then you have to tell them other income that they believe and makes sense, financially, your family must be wise and humble, and be careful about the type of property you earn, from assets that are the result of your own hard work, I'm afraid that if it is told it will make family members competed and there will be social jealousy, that is what needs to be maintained so that the family remains harmonious.

If you’re main source of income is through online then I don’t find it complicated to disclosed to your family unless you are doing illegal things to earn that particular profit.

I do have a regular job which is my main source of income while online side hustle just give me extra income which I don’t really need to disclose to others since I can provide enough financial help using my main job salary.

There’s no need to be ashamed about your online job if you are doing a legal job online. It’s better than being a freeloader to your family.

I never hesitate to tell my family about my income source because they are already aware that I do some kind of work or work that gives them money to support family expenses. I am currently learning on the job as well as freelancing even trading cryptocurrency coins at various times which my family is already aware of.

At first I was afraid to tell them that I make money online. I was afraid that if I told them this they might say that I am earning it illegally but after explaining everything to them they accepted it. When I helped my father in my family business with the money earned from crypto, they knew or understood that I helped them with the money earned from online. Also I don't want to do something that earns money but I can't tell my family.

You don't owe anyone your source of income as far as you are not a teenage or under parental control anymore.
Telling your family about your source of income is a personal choice and not a duty. Although few advantages of letting your family know about your source of income could servr some advantage Incase you're questioned out there by some lawful forces. Your parents or family would be there to defend and speak of your behalf as much they knows you.
So if you find your family Worthy of knowing about your source of income, then nothing to think about on how to explain it to them unless I'm engaged on technical sectors such as investing on bitcoin or trading on bitcoin which I'd need to explain to them to the best of their understanding depending on their level of knowledge to understand.

Many of us might be living in families that are not tech savvy or are not willing to accept something new as a "income source" - dont give up on them, show them your honest methods and the money that comes in and eventually they will change.

However only the closest family members need to be informed, not distant ones and often keeping sources secret will help the earner from getting robbed or questions from the wrong people.

It is always advised to keep work done in secret and not to bang the drums about it. Something that I also support. Let your results speak for you.

Yes, that's right bro, our family must know our source of income, because after all we are children who were born and raised by them, from childhood to adulthood we are educated and taught what is best for us, and we should never hide anything about ourselves, only the way We just have to polish it as best as possible so that they understand and understand about our income from online, don't let them think that our income is illegal, we don't have to tell them all about the amount, as long as their needs are met by us, that's more than enough in my opinion, because Our own parents also have the right to know about their own children, the most important thing is that openness and taking care of each other is more than enough, our parents will not ask for the results of our hard work because they understand each other's needs, they only want their children Being a successful person is far from legal problems, because they also want their children to be successful from their own income and parents will also be proud to see that their children are independent and can make a lot of money from their own hard work.

I agree, as long as what a person is doing is not illegal, then it is up to them to decide whether they want their family members to know what they are doing or not for a living, after all there can still be a lot of prejudices against this market, and I do not see the point of having issues with your family over something they do not understand, so in that case it would be better just to talk in general terms about what you do but avoid being too specific about it.

You made a great thread but your post lack the arrangement for easy understanding. You don't really need to design or format your post to pass a message, it will only get messy and hard for people to comprehend.

Now back to your main subject, there is nothing bad doing online work and a literate parent and by that I mean parent that knows what the internet is all about should understand you better as long as you have evidence of what you do on the internter and where the money is coming from. If you show them what you do and your source of income, there will be no two ways about it, you will earn their trust more when you have evidence and the source of the money.

It's only a problem when you tell parents that doesn't understand how the internet works because I don't know hownuou even tell your parents that you do gigs online and get paid in Bitcoin when they know no idea about the internet.

I think the purpose of telling family members about the source of income is to create more intense harmony. It does not become a new burden after we open up to them, we just make sure that they understand what we have been doing all this time. In addition, this attitude can also increase trust between family members, which is clear that the benefits we get will be greater if we decide to tell them about our source of income. It does not have to be specific, unless we are asked to teach them so that they can have an income too, in other words they want to learn too.

On the other hand, when family or partners know our source of income and the amount, we can easily discuss to determine long-term plans. I think almost everyone is open with their family and also their partners, so this is not something difficult to talk about with them. In conclusion, goals will be easy to achieve if we are open to sharing any information with family or partners.

It is when the person doing Na legal business and legal work that he can tell what is doing to his family and if he is doing illegal jobs or business then he wouldn't tell them because someone that into kidnapping, arm robbery, and cybercrime will not tell his family about it. Though it is good for your family people to know what you are doing. So that there will be no suspicious about it. And even though you don't want to tell people about your source of income but you must tell your wife and children. And when you tell inturn they will tell their friends and that is how other people will also know about it. So there nothing that is legit that is hidden in the world.

Yes we can disclose our earning source in different ways. We earn various way like, our froum, various online marketplace. Like i am a freelancer of upwork. I am social media marketing expert. I am earning usd which coming through our local Bank. So my family know all. And they are seeing my job which task my client giving me.
I think this earning source is valid so it is easy to say with our family.

But froum earning is some difficult to tell wth our family, Because cryptocurrenchy is not legal in our country. But I think day by day and gradually it will be legal in our country then it will be easy to tell our family about our source of income.

You know, at the end of the day, other people's opinions dont really matter all that much.  As long as you are doing something legal to support yourself, whether its through some kind of online work or running your own small business then thats your own choice to make and  people will always judge no matter what you do anyway.  Its just human nature.

This is the age of making money on the internet - there are so many ways to do it now with freelancing, selling digital products, and everything in between.  If you find something you feel passionate about that also pays the bills, then go for it.  Let the naysayers naysay.  Your happiness and fulfillment are what count here.

Whenever you start a new job or business always consult your parents first because they know what we don't. They have seen a lot in their lives and in the light of their experiences we are better guided. When you get into your new job your parents feel the joy of youth again as if they are involved in the job themselves. So don't forget to include your parents in this new journey. It will not only be beneficial for you but also a pleasant experience for your parents. May your new journey be successful with their prayers and advice. So whenever you take a new step make sure to include your parents in the joy.

Our family should be aware about our source of income, but I don't think we are still obliged to let them know how much we are earning with our job or even side hustle. That should only be kept secretly within yourself.

Luckily, my family has never asked about it or cross even my privacy. They know that I'm into crypto but until now, they have no idea how much I'm capable to earn which is a good thing also. It just shows they respect my privacy, and that's very important to me.

I am open with my family, the immediate ones but not relatives and friends. I tell them how much I earn and what's the source of income that I have. I won't hide anything from them but there are grounds on how vocal I should be on them. Because there could be times that they might be too picky with what I give to them knowing how much I earn. I'd tell them that it's the only amount that I've earned based on the output of my job and the performance of the company that I am working with.

They might believe or they might not be. It's not a problem to me but I have already taught them on how to be grateful with whatever we have because it's always like that we get to have everything specially if we don't have a lot of source of income. I don't treat gambling as a source of income unlike the others that they do and that's why I need to make them appreciate and realize that they need not to know more about my finances as that's going to invade my privacy.

I think as long as you are not doing illegal things to provide you good amount of income, then I don’t think it would be hard to tell your friends and family about the nature of your job. Most especially your family, they need to be aware what you have been doing for a living, so they won’t suspect you bad things and just support your craft all the way.

However, when it comes to disclosing the amount of your income, I think that’s should never be tell to everyone, not even your close family members or friends. Although it won’t be bad if you allow your parents how much you are earning, as long as they won’t disclose the information as well. Otherwise, when it comes to money and assets matters, it should be dealt only within yourself and should be dealt privately.

For parents that uneducated or exposed to current tech development a white lie should be just the right reply to give as you can make them feel more insecure about you by trying to want to genuinely explain your means of income source how it works. And for those parents that are too religious, there are certain jobs they might get weary about knowing that their son is into such line of job or business as it goes against their religious faith. lol. Honestly I don't find it appealing when people ask about my source of income, it's a moral killer for me in a discussion, except it's for official purpose I don't share.

Two things that I think might actually be a bad idea, telling anyone about your source of income and disclosing how much you make.. revealing all these isn't good in most situations because some people especially friends would like to take advantage when they know the amount of money you are making..You shouldn't tell people about your source of income If it's not a white collar job, if you are earning online from crypto trade or forex trade it should be a secret, just so you can avoid putting that spot light on yourself.. it's better to win and stay quiet

Why do you have to tell your family about your source of income? You are an adult person. You are living your life and your business is your business. Period. I told my mother that I work in the IT sector and that's it. She doesn't know anything about crypto. She doesn't know how much money I'm making(the amount of money I'm currently making isn't big). I wouldn't tell anything about my sources of income to anyone of my relatives-uncles, cousins, aunts, etc... There's no need for me to share with them such information and I can assume that they most likely wouldn't even care about my income sources.

You are right, if you are completely open to people, they will take advantage of you. When you you tell your friends, families, and others your source of income, instead of appreciating you, they do use you as their source of income, they will be sending money requests anytime until they see that you no longer have again. And for your family members including your parents, sometimes it's hard to explain the nature of your work to them especially if they don't have a good educational background; some of them see any online business as a scam or fraud.
Hiding the main detail of what you do for leaving is very important for your safety, you can tell them something they want to hear to be free and safe.

One day, my Dad was telling me that he has raised me with a good discipline and has thought me all the things that is supposed to guide me through life and also how to handle my finance and also to raise my own family. So, at my age, my parents doesn't bother to start question me about my nature of job or what so ever. They will not also get scared about my nature of job because they are confident that they have given me a good home training not to ingagge in any illegal activity that will cause me or cause them problem.

If one is living a life where they have to start convincing or explaining to their parents if their job is legit or not, that means the parents are scared that the job might be illegal.

Yeah, there is no doubt we should keep secret our income and source of income from those people who are not our well-wishers as they would never like to see us becoming a successful person. But besides this, I honestly feel good when I share my income with my family and my siblings as they are the only best friends who are good with us, we all have lovely feelings for our parents and siblings so sharing these kinds of movements with them feel really good like telling them I am earning from this source and I used to guide them about those sources from where I am earing as they can also make money from that resources.

I also have faced these kinds of people as well in my life who just want to know from where I am earning and how much I am earning and they request me to teach them so that they can also make money and honestly, I guided them but after them, I realize they just wanted to know what I am doing and once they come to know what I am doing they all step away from me and the source I shared. After all, I realized that was a waste of time I spent on them. I can share a lot of these kinds of stories here but I think I should leave it and move on to the next things in life like those things that can make me a progressive personality. You guys also may have faced these kinds of people in your life. do you?

telling the family that we already have an income is something that must be done, because the family also hopes that we can be independent and one of them is having a job that can provide income is a source of pride for the family, I am sure of that.

but if this income is obtained from something that is actually high risk or wrong such as stealing, robbing and others then the family will not be proud, on the contrary they might be angry or even expel.

why do i have to tell my family about my income? even i have never needed to disclose my family or friends about my income source.
it's my personal matter and i think it also confidential to me and my family never asked me about it. though i shared some of my friends of mine know about my online income.

I am not sure what you mean by "family", like if you are talking about your cousins then yeah hide it if you can. But when we are talking about a married person, your spouse should know what's your income and where you make it, or what you mom and dad knows and how you make it. Those are the three people that should know about your income and how much you make, that is very important subject.

I personally believe that we are going to make it harder on ourselves if we do not let these people know about the situation, we should be making it known to them. Otherwise, if we are talking about like aunts, uncles, or anyone you married into like brother in law or something, yeah those people do not really need to know about it at all.

As an adult you don't owe extended family members and casual friends explanation about your source of income, so far you're law abiding and you don't have any criminal records. It's however important to let your spouse to know the source of your income and it'll be good if your siblings know the work that you do. This is because if trouble arises they can be able to attest and stand by you that you're not a criminal. So if it's online work that you're into, you can take your time to explain to them that there are legitimate works on the internet.

Aside from letting your loved ones to know the kind of work that you do or atleast one of them, I don't think that you're under any obligations to tell anybody how much you earn. This is where everybody needs to be discreet, otherwise they might transfer all their financial burdens to you. Infact no responsible family and friends should ask you what you earn, if anyone does, you need to be bold and ask them why they want to know or simply don't tell them what you're actually worth. Except that you're super rich, the more people know your financial worth the more unsafe that you'll be because some can plan to harm or eliminate you.

For me, I don’t see anything wrong telling them about your source of income, but when it comes to the amount of your income, no one should know that but only yourself, not even your parents if that is your choice. But talking about spouse, I still believe transparency is compulsory. Your spouse should be aware how much money you are making, and she should also do the same.

However, if you are still single and is living with your parents, I guess they deserve to know what you do for a living, even if you keep privately how much money you are capable of earning.

I know how this is because I also belonged to a conservative family, so I can relate, but let me tell you one thing, no matter how conservative your family or your parents are, they will always be happy for you if they see you are becoming responsible and earning money. Of course, you will need to make them understand that what you are doing isn't illegal, but that's mostly not the issue.


Remember that you need to open up about these things only to your immediate family which is your parents and siblings, others are your relatives, and you are never supposed to discuss such things with them.


As I said above, you should only discuss such things with your immediate family such as your parents and siblings, and I don't think your parents or siblings would put unnecessary responsibilities on you, and taking responsibility for your family doesn't stop you from achieving your dreams. A man feels proud when they become capable enough to do something for their family.

We run our family with income so family members especially parents often want to know how we are earning. my parents ask me many times they try to know whether my source of income is legal or illegal. Even if I don't tell them about my work process, it tells them that my work is not illegal.
Friends are very dear to us. At the same time, we are affected more by friends. So I never share my source income amount with any friends. Many times I hang out with my friends and give them treats but do not discuss about my financial status and income strategies or sources.

Why so much bureaucracy on this matter? It should be simple to tell your family about your job and source of income (if you wish to share these informations with them). You don't need to follow a protocol or write a manual to talk to your family. If they have any issues with your job or your source of income size, that is their problem, not yours. Don't feel sad, frustrated or guilty for anything they may reply or think about you.

If you are consciously working on something you are proud of and feel there is nothing wrong on it, it's ok and you should not feel otherwise due to third party's judgements. However, if you are working on something illegal, criminal or shady, then you should stop immediately. Not because of your family, but because it's not going to be benefical and uplifting for you in first place.

Only your immediate family (spouse or parents) should know about your source of income. And if they are not tech savvy, it is up to you to explain your job description to them in a way that they can understand. For a teenager living with his parents, it is only right that you tell your parents how you’re now able to take care of your wants and needs. Any responsible parent would be concerned if their child who is presumed jobless (since you do not have a physical job) is spending money and if you cannot explain properly they might think you are into something illegal.

This topic reminds me of a discussion on the forum last year:
 My father thinks I'm working in a shop,he didn't know I'm bitcointalking (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5440942.msg61805727#msg61805727)

I mean as far as everything's concerned unless it's something that is a big deal for your family I don't think you really have to break it to your family where you money comes from. It's not like they have all the rights to make you switch careers, or demand that you give them dividends of what you earn cause what the fuck. And at the end of the day, it's all about how you make your money, and how much money you make, everything else is irrelevant.

Make it a habit to keep things to yourself, cause the more people you tell your job about, the more issues regarding money's going to arise. You'll first see them asking for money, then they'll depend upon you, until they stop working for themselves and depend upon you as their sole income provider, effectively making you a breadwinner by your own volition.

That's what a parent can do as their best ever job. If you raise a kid that can handle themselves then you are going to end up with a good result, it will not matter too much and you are going to be able to handle it easily. We are going to end up with a good result as a grown up if we had parents who raised us well.

When you do that, you are not going to get a result that will be just fine, or something that will not be a big deal or anything like that, if we have something like this, we are going to get no questions asked, because it's going to be just a normal situation without any other situation, it's going to be just fine and we will be just fine. Of course this takes time, but we are going to be fine in the end.

What a load of bollocks, what AI generated crap did you pull for this? You do know that 99% of the world don't try to hide their main job and it's a key component of who they are, why would you need to write a guide on how to share this information with your family, it's ridiculous quite frankly. Your friends and family should be supportive of you however you try to make a living, or are you trying to suggest that people who make money through unorthodox means like adult work might not what to share? It's weird how you've verged into mentioning bitcoin as if it is some kind of shameful activity, when most people around here are perfectly comfortable with it and happy to educate others around them.

My family knows everything about my income but I never told my family anything about bitcoin income till now. Yes, but it is better to inform about the source of income among the family members because sometimes the matter becomes different when the source of income is questioned by the family members. But I haven't told my parents about my bitcoin forum income till now because they are completely ignorant about bitcoin and if I tell them they will take it very seriously that's why I haven't explained it to them till now.

Exactly my point. If you live under the roof of your parents, then they deserve to know your source of income so they will know whether you are doing things legally or illegally knowing they have seen you spending your own money. That way, they will be at ease thinking that you are doing good on your own and you have a reliable source of income or investment that will provide you consistent flow of money.

However, if you are in a married relationship already, your spouse must also be aware what you have been working through that makes you earn some money, at least your partner will think that she's also secure with you financially.

It's good to know the origin of the foot, but I wouldn't say I like knowing how everything turned out. One knows the source of income from which I earn, but I never share with them the income that can be earned from this world of cryptocurrency, and I will never discuss it with them in the future because they don't know and understand about it. I consider the income from this forum and the world of cryptocurrencies to be an optional income in addition to my work.

Of course anything I gain from this Bitcoin forum is my optional gain.  It gives extra benefits to my family.  But I share what I earn with my family and let them know that it is my income from any source.  Initially though my parents had a lot of difficulty in explaining this bitcoin forum in detail but now again my parents understand this.  But I think it is better to inform your family members about the source of your income.

Long story cut short. I do not have to start writing or making analysis on how to tell my family the nature of job or work i do online. At the end of the day what you tell them is what they will rather believe or not believe. I tell them i work remotely as a web developer then they have all the resources to go search the meaning of it, how the work strucutre is and the pay rate per annual. However, i do not know the reason why they will be so interested in how much i earn they only need to know what i do incase they do want to refer someone to me or know where i work for safe purposes.

For me personally, I don't have too much trouble telling my family about my online income, because my family understands what freelancing is, so I explain to them that I work on forums as a freelancer. Maybe it's quite different from what I do here, but at least my family understands what I do and I don't do bad things to earn money. Because if I explain in detail about what I do, maybe they will be a little confused and not understand what I'm saying, especially since they have very little knowledge about bitcoin.

I don't know why it is hard though, if you are talking about the youth, obviously their parents and their families are going to know what they are doing. And I know a lot of those young generations who earns good money is helping their family. I personally know one individual who prior to the pandemic was doing youtube content until he become so successful that he was able to build a house for him and his mother. Unfortunately, he passed away. But my point is that if you are earning good money, and as a young kid, you can help your family from the money that you are getting. And for sure, you don't need to explain whatsoever, where the money is coming from. Unless you are doing illegal stuff that your family might question you on where you are getting that money to help them.

Any parent that can't easily digest the true means of their children ways of earning is threat to digitalization. I'm not sure if this problem exist in western part of the nations, but it's a problem here where I stay and I must confess, my own family are woke parents, they understand the internet has evolved for the best where people can make money and the fact that my schedule on the internet is mixed together with my office work, they are the best understanding group of people I ever know.

If there is evidence of mean of payment, there is source and there is evidence of work, there shouldn't be any dramatic questions to banter someone who earn money. I'm very sure the child understands the adverse effect of doing bad and if he doesn't know, I will inform him or her about the negativity, it is left for them to chose between good and bad. If they don't follow the the good step, they will take the consequences later.

I don't see the reason why I need to tell my family about my income because the moment they know they might increase your billing and might feel their is need for you to do more and that is one of the reason why when they don't know they will appreciate anyone you want to do. And another thing is that if they know we're you are working their is nothing you can do to convince them, they will bill you because with the company's name they will be able to predict the money you are earning so it is better to accept your faith in situation like that even your wife i don't think I will tell her, because we all know how women are with money the moment they find out they they will drive out peace from that house until they get what they want that is just women for you delete any form of alert if not if she sees it then you know the rest, am not yet married but money is usually one of the biggest problems that married people always have, to avoid problems like that just start planning on how you will manage your finances and how to manage matters when they arise because when they know you have they can even leave all the bills for you to pay that's women.

They will understand if you have informed them already. But for the other freelancers or those that relies solely on forums for their income, it's very unstable. And if they haven't told anyone from their family then no one is going to understand on how it goes for their end. That's why, telling your source or income will as well help you with the situation that your family won't rely on you that much so, be open on it and there's no need for you to be secretive. It's better that they know what you are up to so that you won't be pissed off as well when they're trying to ask you for some money.

I’m someone who, from the beginning of my life, has done nothing more than go to school and come back home. I don’t have any handwork, but still, I did not find it difficult to let them know I earn money online because what I’m doing is not a bad thing. I’m not scamming anybody, so the reason why some people are finding it difficult to tell their parents what they do online is that when your parents are not that understanding or they are kind of strict people, or maybe even if you tell them,

they won’t believe because of the kind of environment you are in or the kind of friends you have. You know there are some environments that are full of fraudulent behaviour, so in this kind of place, your parents may find it difficult to believe what you say. But another thing is that you will find it easy, and you can confront them confidently to tell them how you earn money online. If you know that what you are doing is legal and acceptable, but if you do illegal things, then you definitely can’t tell them. 

You are correct because OP is literally talking based on their level but for someone who have grown to take responsibility of their actions, it doesn't matter telling anyone about the kind of job or work you do online inasmuch as you are taking care of your bills and that of your family. Except someone who is still living in their parent's custody will need to explain to them about the things they do to make money from the Internet otherwise it's not necessary.


Yes of course, you don't owe anyone explanations to what you do online inasmuch as you are doing legitimate jobs and the world we are now is going digital or should I say we are in a digital era already were we don't necessarily need to appear physically to do jobs, people can work and earn at the convenience of their homes without going to the office so everyone should learn to adapt to this digital age we are now and shouldn't question anyone who is earning money online. The world has gone digital so we should accept it the way it is and not having negative thoughts of labeling people working online as fraudsters or internet scammers.

The rate at which Internet fraud have become rampant in the society lately contribute alot to the way people view those that work online, and also the way of life of an individual can also be a pointer to what the do really, when someone is working online a d have so many young friends always discussing deals, you will know that something is not right with them, but if you see a legitimate online worker you will know.

He she hardly have time for friend since most of his friend may probably be online and social media, no scammers walk alone, they are always in group which is one way to know scammers.

You are not far from the truth, like even when they are spending money, they spend extravagantly but someone who do legit work online knows that it wasn't easy for them to make the money so they spend judiciously so what you said is actually the gospel truth since the rate of frauds and scams now are on a very high rate but however, we cannot completely refer to people who spend extravagantly or who moves in groups as fraudsters because everyone is at liberty to live their life the way they want and some people who also make legit income also like flamboyant lifestyle so if they are suspected of being internet scammers then their are agencies and other government forces that checks the activities of people they suspect to be into frauds so it should be their duty to investigate the source of income of such a person.

You can't really say no scammers walk alone because some of them also values their privacy and doesn't like to appear much in public places as almost everything they literally need to facilitate their jobs and other things they need are being ordered online and the online vendors delivers to them at the comfort of their homes and however, there are also people that do legitimate jobs online and decides to move in groups so it shouldn't be a criteria for identifying Internet scammers or fraudsters.

That alone has given them the confidence in you that you can never go outside from what they have taught you. As a young man that wants things to be in place base on what your parents showed you right from day 1, you won't want to let them down but still we have some who are being brought up the same way you said but they still fall out of line because of bad influence, friends also have a way of making someone go astray and it would be very hard to open up to disclose the nature of his/her job that's when ways of getting money isn't legal or in the right way.

There is nothing wrong with telling your family about your source of income. Parents of every family want to know what their children are doing to earn money. Are they making money legally or illegally?

Many of our members in this forum are spending time here besides their own jobs or businesses and I am one of them. I am working as a small entrepreneur and even trying to give time to this forum but now I hide the money earned from this forum to my family. Because the money earned from this forum is still not valid in our country so it will be considered as illegal money by my family. But my family is already aware about my offline based money making method. My way of earning money is small but it makes my family proud.

If you know that the source of your income is coming from a genuine source, and your family members what to know your source of income before they can relate or collect anything from you, you can tell them your online sources of income.or what is bringing the income. Recently, my parents was asking me where I my getting money to pay my school fees and house rent without them given me the money to do all those things in school, which I told them that I made all those money from Bitcointalk.org signature campaign and they where very happy for me to have such knowledge.

Now that am planning to establish other business once am done with my higher institution, it will  improve my source of income in the future because I was told that you don't need to depend on one source only, if you want to be stable in your wealth.

On the contrary, if my wife wanted to know my income, I would not hesitate to tell her, I don't think hiding my income from my family would benefit me.

Different from what you said, if my wife knew my income was high, she would find a way to stop me from spending wastefully because men are inherently very generous with their friends when they have money. And if she knew my income was decreasing, she would automatically cut down on unnecessary expenses to save money.

It's difficult to understand when you doubt and speak ill of your wife and loved ones, the people who are always by our side no matter what happens to us.

In addition, not trusting your wife and family means you are causing division in the family. If you can't trust them then you have no right to make them trust you.

Do we really need this guideline to inform our family about our source of income?  I do not think there is a need to keep our source of income a secret to our family.  We may keep it a secret outside our first family but keeping it a secret to our first family sounds awkward.  

I feel like having a problem revealing our source of income to our immediate family shows distrust to the member.  And it should not be that way.  If you can't trust your immediate family about our welfare then I believe that kind of family is wicked.  As long as it won't put our family in danger then I do not think we need to be secretive about our source of income.

Family should be built with trust and concern and not with distrust and suspicion.  Also we should be patient in explaining if they fail to understand how it works, they are our first family after all.  If we are full of suspicion about them then we can just forget calling them our family.

Raising kids in a good manner or with discipline is still to the advantage of the parent, because they will have the peace of mind that their kids will not be involved in any illegal activity that can cause a lot of trouble for the family. Although some kids can decide to choose their own part, if they choose a bad lifestyle, that's when their parents feel so concerned to question every action the kid takes, including their source of income.

For example, I have seen a situation where parents refused to accept any money from their son because the kid refused to tell them the source of the money. 

Looks like you have the same way as I do, the income from this forum is not publicly published because I consider it a side and I am here to maintain the confidentiality of myself, so there is no one who knows that I have a pretty good identity in the forum and already very long.

But unfortunately I am not very active in an offline business, so I use other methods that can be revealed to my family knowing where I get income, because I am not only active in the forum, but I also wade the world of the web3, some of the income that I can produce from airdrops , became a creator content, becoming a Crypto project telegram channel manager and so on, and they believe because they pay attention directly so I think I am quite safe until now.

You are correct. I said in one of my previous comments that some kids might choose their own part, which is different from the morals that they have learned from their parents, and once some parents notice it, they will definitely caution the child, and if the kid refuses to live uprightly, the parent will question almost every activity that their kid is involved in because they always want to make sure that they don't get into illegal activity. 

I think if you mean earning from the signature campaign of this forum there will be no problem if you explain the income to your family, but some countries may not be legal with gambling activities so they think negatively of the explanation of generating income from promoting gambling projects. So I agree with you that we can explain income from other online jobs without intending to cheat the family but we want them to assume we are working illegally without getting in trouble with the law.

Everyone has their own way of explaining income to the family in their own way, the family just wants to make sure we earn income from real and legal work, so they don't want other people to think their children are rich from theft, narcotics and other income.

Yes, that's right. We have to be open with our families about where our income comes from, even if they don't understand this forum, let alone bitcoin. But, if we explain it slowly, eventually they will understand. Even if they don't understand, at least they know that we get money the right way, not from the wrong sources.

I myself have tried to explain to my family, at first they didn't understand at all, but because I kept trying to explain, they finally understood. Indeed, they will not understand completely, but at least they don't think badly of my income. So, the reason I keep explaining to them is because my family initially thought I got my income from gambling.  :(

It may be quite difficult to explain the online work we do to our parents. Especially if they are not tech-savvy. The curiosity and concern of parents towards their children about how their children can make money just by looking at a laptop, of course this is difficult for us to accommodate, so we have no choice but to explain about the work we have. Unless our parents really don't care and pay attention to us, then most likely questions about the work we have will never arise.

Although it will be quite difficult to explain about the online work we have, we must explain it anyway. Apart from this aiming to eliminate the curiosity and concern of parents about the work we have, it can also prevent us from a wild view that can have a negative impact on us.

Yes, it's true, even in every region in every neighborhood there are different responses to gambling, some are normal and some become negative sentiments towards us, so it's best to be more realistic in determining what we need to explain so that we stay safe and continue to operate properly.

I also remember that previously I was said to be someone who worshiped mystical creatures to earn money, because indeed in my family environment it is quite close to the old culture, so many assumed that, but they now know and understand that work does not need to sweat and be seen in the field, only by using PCs and cellphones today can make money so I don't bother to explain work that has sentiments towards the norms in the environment.

Is that really a problem for some of you? If they ask how you get money, just think of something. You can always say that you write homework for people, or tutor kids who want to pass exams...
You don't have explain what cryptocurrency is and all that because it could lead to more questions and keep the focus of the family members on you for more than you'd want.
Be yourself, that's the most important thing and choose the path you want to follow. It's your life not the life of your parents.

It just depends on how well your parents could understand what you are saying in simplest terms possible. If you know what you are doing, then you can probably just fragment what you do and change it into simplest sentences to make them understand about what you do. I told them about what I'm doing most of the time in basic way and they can understand and let it slide without further questions.

Who took care of us growing up, who was by our side when we stumbled and despaired? I read some of the comments above and don't understand why some people have bad thoughts and speak ill of their family when that is where they were born and raised, and where they will return when the whole society doesn't need them. It's ironic that some people think that if their family knows about their income, they will be taken advantage of.

Like you, I have no problem with disclosing my income to my family. I even give my entire salary to my wife to control and I feel that this will be better for me because sometimes I spend uncontrollably, leading to a shortfall in family expenses.
A happy family is not built on suspicion or thinking bad about each other, but it is built on mutual trust. If we are always suspicious and always think badly of others, we should not expect them to think well of us. If we want to receive trust and love in return, we first need to give those things away.

what you just said it's good but in the other hand it's not necessary in the sense that your source of income is legit but if it claims not to be that's When you owe your family explanations on your general source of income.
We all know the level of online business in the world today both legal an illegal and probably when you ought to give explanation on that is based on the fact that they are questioning your source of income but if you know what you're doing is safe you don't have to freak out.

And besides when you decide to let them know you don't have to be specific with the said amount your getting from your online business or hustle cause definitely they will be on the side that your earning such amount so when need be for them to demand they won't hesitate to do that cause they believe your highly capable.
And again if you choose not to let anyone know about your income it's still cool you know,cause it's best remaining that way than letting one family member know and it ends up becoming a public information.

Families differ. Before giving details about what you do online that gives you money, you have to know the kind of family you are coming from and whether they believe you can make money from home(online)

Many people are being tagged as fraudsters by their families because they stay day in and day out in their family house without looking for a job or learning a trade to support themselves.

Most parents do believe that you must work before making a living. They never believed that you could be at a place and be making cool cash for yourself. However, you don't blame them for that because, during their days, they worked so hard to provide what their families would eat. Seeing their children not doing the same pains them. What will they do? The fact is that the world is advancing in technology, and everyone is aligning themselves to that area of equipping themselves with all the necessary knowledge to excel in online business.

Well, since earning online is invoked in society. Some families are beginning to believe that there are legit ways to make money online. You must not be working round the clock from Monday to weekdays before someone would know that you are working. You can work from home at your own convenient time without stress.

Many people try their best to know your source of income. And if they cannot know it, they will begin to blackmail you. I have been called a fraudster by people close to me who do not know about my source of income but I do not care.

Since I know I'm not into anything bad, why should I bother myself to explain myself to people. I'm just unbothered, just as you said, unless it has to do with legal requirements.

Really weird format you type in, OP. Any way, I am a guy in my late 20’s, I don’t need to explain to my family anything about my source of income & my work. Why would anybody need to explain in great detail about their source of income, it’s really not that interesting. The only time you might be afraid of people finding out a out your source of income would be if it wasn’t legal.

There is this misconception that is popular in my country that if you are not dressing up in the morning, carry a bag, and move out, you are a fraudster. The society I live in doesn't have much knowledge about online jobs, so they assume that you should have a physical office to show that you are legally employed. Your neighbors could even report you to the police because there is a whistleblower law that rewards citizens for exposing criminals.

A guilty conscience fears no accusation. One doesn't need to give a damn about what people assume about them. If they report to the police, you can comfortably defend yourself with the details or documents about your job. I wouldn't disclose my source of income or worth to any stranger because of their assumptions.

Working in cyberspace, such as trading crypto, or being a content creator, of course in certain situations and for certain people, this is very foreign. Therefore, people who are unfamiliar with things related to the virtual world will always ask whether they can make money from working online. This is normal if it happens, because in essence people like that have little knowledge about the work that can be done in cyberspace. So their thinking has not yet reached things related to online work.

So of course when our parents, who still don't understand much about the virtual world, ask about the income we have earned so far, it will definitely be a little confusing. Because from the personal experience that I am currently having, my parents tend to say that online work is a place to commit crimes. So it also took me quite a long time to convince my parents that working in cyberspace doesn't always mean committing a crime.

However, now many people are becoming more enlightened about this. Because in essence, current developments lead to technological sophistication such as the virtual world. So everyone is forced to understand this issue. Therefore, for now I don't need to worry when other people question what work I do in cyberspace. Because with just a little explanation they already understand what I explain. So basically, for now I don't need to be afraid of this. So in essence, when we are asked by someone, for example our parents, regarding the online work we do, try to explain it in detail and slowly. Because basically parents or family members just want to know what work we do in cyberspace. Because parents will definitely feel strange if they see their child just sitting in the room facing a computer screen but can make money.

Seriously, it's weird disclosing source of income unnecessarily to people including close relatives. It doesn't matter whether online or physical, your source of wealth should be safeguard with all forms of anonymity. Moreover, I don't think any sensible person will demand to know anyone's source of wealth when you are not  undergoing any form of trial. Even during trial, only recognized authorities have the right to request for such information from you for trial purpose. Keeping privacy is very necessary when it comes to wealth and anything related to finance, people can not destroy what they don't know.

I agree.  If your family members are those that see every online business as illegal then it's better to look for a branded name to call yourself or a word to describe your work. You can also tell maybe one or two people you trust to understand and not tell the rest about your real source of income.

Then, I agree with not telling them the exact amount you earn, instead, give them a figure range probably lower than what you earn to avoid unnecessary monetary attention. Also, if you stay with your family members who may not understand your kind of work, try making use of the hub sometimes or going to a friend's sometimes. So they won't be seeing you indoors on your laptop all day, which can increase the questioning.

But I doubt they would think about negative about what you do online especially that online jobs is now booming. For sure they already hear that earning online exist. What you need to do is to show them your online gigs and tell that everything you do is legal.

We cannot erase some facts that they might question on how we can generate money online, but if we make them understand the nature of our job then for sure they could able to get an idea that what you do is good then maybe you can influence your brothers and sister to do the same also earn at home by help of current technology.

But total earnings should be hidden and we should not teach and show them everything since maybe that actions will us any big issues.

I agree to that just give them the idea that there's no illegal things that relates to whatever business or industry that we are involve online, to assure them that you are not doing any bad things that will risk you and their securities, by providing that information chance that you might influence them and have them gain interest to whatever income earnings that you already established, it's more on your approach and how you deal with convincing them about the legal ways that you are doing online.

Currently, the number of freelancers is increasing in such a way that a large part of the country is currently doing freelancing and bringing huge economic remittances to a country. So guardians know about their children that they are earning money by freelancing so guardians encourage their children to become freelancers. They know that earning bitcoins is nothing but freelancing so their children know about this source of income and guardians try their best to encourage their children to earn more.

You don't owe anything to your family to let them know about your current amount of income, but you can always tell the nature of your work. I think it won't be a hard thing to do as long as your honest about your work so they won't suspect that you are taking an income from illegal sources. However, if you chose not to let them know as long as you are earning regularly, I guess that won't be an issue. Just support your family if it's really necessary so they won't be having an issue about your job.

Second step, those to inform and those not to inform

If ever i would really be that earning significant at early age or lets say that if im still studying or still dependent into my parents then it would be better that you should
really be keeping yourself mouth shut to avoid some possible long stories about whats this and whats that. The thing here is that you do make income and surely that time comes
that when you would really be needing up those money just in case your family would really be having that financial problem. The key on here is to save up as much as you could
and this would re ally be an advantageous thing.

Just make it sure that those saved funds would really be kept well and secure to avoid on losing it all or would come to waste.
Later explaination isnt something that you should be stressing yourself with, mind it later on when things been busted.  ;D
For now then it would be better to keep it secret as much as you could.

Sometimes it is safer to give little information to people, including family, about our source of wealth and our worth except close family member life husband or wife for those who are married or father and mother for those who are single. Again, this depends on age too because at certain age, you are matured to know the law and how not to go against it so provided what you are doing is legal, you owe no one any explanations and should not be bothered about what they think, they can keep assuming. My point is coming from a security point of view because there is so much people will know about your finances that will become a security threat to you.

Lol...this post is just needless even as it is very funny.

All that matters is for your source of income to be legit, and I wonder if the family members would not be happy that one of them is making money. Even if you are just 5 years old, once your earnings are justified, tell your family anyhow, this is not formal.

However, you might want to further explain how you do it to some family members if they are interested but certainly not what you need to learn an epistle for before you tell them.

Giving a little information about what we do is certainly better so that we can protect ourselves from things that we do not want because if everyone knows the work we do and the amount of income we have, it could be someone who has evil intentions, of course it will disturb our own comfort and it would be better to only tell close family members so that they do not worry about the work we do. That's right, everyone will certainly be able to understand what we are doing if we give them a little information about it because it would be very unlikely if we did something that was against the law and no one would know about it, because every crime certainly would not last long and would be easily known by anyone.

I think not only that but the importance of informing about our work to family or closest people is to avoid misunderstandings and the most important thing in my opinion when something happens to us then that person can secure the assets that we have especially for work in the digital world, be it the investment we make or trade, I think someone we trust should know that. And for the way we do it may be different, personally I even teach some of my family for the knowledge I have gained and some of them also do the same thing, so I have no problem with that.

IMHO, that's different when the earner himself doesn't want to broadcast how much he/she is earning to his/her family. I don't know but different cultures won't want someone who earns to let his family know how much exactly they make for some personal reasons. There are family members that are abusive and if they have an idea how much you make, they'll keep on asking things from you and they'll calculate how much you are giving to them and how much you're spending from the actual salary you receive. That's why there are individuals that are not willing to tell how much they make.

I've never thought that it was a big deal announcing my source of income to family. Family is family and they deserve to know what I do to earn a living to be sure no member of the family is going astray. Every family deserves to know what the next person does to earn some money at least, they should be able to recommend similar jobs to their family member if any opportunity arises. Except there is no love in that family, then everyone can be careful about the kind of information they dish out to their family members about their personal finances.

To me, the step by step approach to announcing one's source of income is not really neccessary, if anyone is not comfortable announcing their source of income, they should simply decline answering questions relating to how they earn money.

Indeed, someone who knows and might understand the line of business that we are involve you have to bring that knowledge for them to know that we are dealing with something that giving us decent benefit the legal way. If you able to make them realize then there's a chance that they might be interested and they will start doing their own study and research to invest their money.

The way you speak up and the way you explain where you are getting your income mostly gives them idea to try new things and hopefully they will make money the same way you do.

I think the family should know about the work we are doing. Therefore, the most important thing is how we explain how to do the work we are doing. for example, by providing knowledge about technology that is currently developing.

There may be differences in culture and treatment between family members in each country. I was also quite surprised to see some members say that they did not want to provide their income information to the rest of the family for fear of being abused and exploited for everything they have.

But in my country, if someone does that, it means they are trying to create division, create distance between people, and this is considered selfish and greedy behavior. Like me, I am also willing to share my income with my mother, wife and even younger brother. My parents feel secure knowing I have a legitimate job and a stable income. My wife helps me make a spending plan based on my income to have a reasonable spending level. Meanwhile, my younger brother, we work together to bring better work efficiency as well as help each other make money instead of having to hire outsiders. Overall, I don't see any problem sharing information about my income or what I do with my loved ones, and I even find it brings me more benefits.

That varies as per country and culture. Some family members just want to keep details like this to themselves while providing for their family. That's understandable in the modern world but for cultures that have very family-oriented rules or ties, no one can skip that part as it looks betrayal of trust to the family members. I think that we can only understand each and everyone's situation on this matter through putting ourselves in their shoes.

I am completely against this sort of mentality. If you are hiding your income from your family so that they don't ask you for anything, hiding it from your wife or children so that they don't demand anything from you, then why are you earning the money in the first place? The primary purpose behind a man having a good and stable source of income is to have a good life, and that good life can only be complete if you have your relations with you, and treating your close relations like that wouldn't make you go far, to be honest.

Someone who has their parents alive and have siblings, should be grateful because they love you and they pray for your success all the time, and when you achieve that success, don't push them away.

Your wife is your life-partner, she does so much for you, even bears the pain of child birth and you are still ungrateful and think she shouldn't know how much you earn so that she doesn't demand anything. That's not how you should think of things.

Yes, that's right. Indeed, families, especially parents, must know where our income comes from because this is also important for us if something unwanted happens, there is someone who can continue it. If we get income from trading or investment, of course this is important, besides being able to continue our assets if something unwanted happens, we can also pass on the assets we have, the point is to the family we trust.

Telling this is also so that our families do not think negatively about us, just sitting in the room but can get money, of course if we don't tell our family, they will think we get our income from bad methods. This is not only in the crypto world, if we work as a TikTok, YouTube content creator, we should also tell our family.

Even if later after being told they still don't understand, that's okay, at least they know that we get our income in the right or halal way. However, with the rapid development of technology like today, I think they will understand quickly. Except for those who are really old. I told my family everything and they understood, even though no one followed in my footsteps, I didn't force them.

I guess one will only find it hard to tell his family about his source of income or how much money he made from it if it comes from illegal means. Otherwise, you don't need to hide it from your family because whatever your preferred source of income as long as it's legal and is giving you sustainable profits, your family will definitely support it and will not talk against you.

The key is openness, until now I still explain where I get my money from and until now I also have no problems with that because in the end I get money from a normal way where it is obtained from the income of the work I do and some of my side jobs. Even though I sometimes get money from gambling but for this I do not use the money for the benefit of the family and I use it for my own interests and of course for my gambling capital again, but the results that I give to my small family are obtained from my work and I tell it to my partner or closest family so it will not be a source of problems.

It would be a different story if you got it from a situation that could be considered illegal so maybe it would be difficult to be honest and open, but as long as I got it from a normal way and did not break the trust of others because of illegal work I always told them about the work I did. As for them being able to digest, accept or reject it is their right, the most important thing is that I have done it like the ideology I believe in.

I read a book called The Intelligent Entrepreneur and there is a part where it states that making money is like fetching water in a well, you don't know what to expect and you can't share what you get afterward! sometimes it is best to keep your source of income to yourself for the sake of sanity. People calculate the respect they give you once they know how you make a living, so it is up to you to map the level of respect you get.

Well, I understand you but my point still subsists because to tell your family members your source of income is not an interview session. You can naturally coin out what you do not want to tell them without reading an epistle for it, it's all about being natural about it.

For instance, if you are working online or with a company that pays you $2,500 a month if you do not want your family members to know the worth but still want to tell them the source of your income, a normal gist with a light mood is enough for it. Yours is to tell them what you do and be silent about the amount. But if any of them inquire further, especially on the income, you may say a little bit above $,1000 and that settles it. You also answer individual family members based on your respect for them and the trust you have in them, if they are not worthy, you may even call it a lesser amount or even avoid answering any further questions.

I also got your point but telling what your source of income is and by not telling how much you're making. I think the point is there and each family member will be curious about how you make and that's why if you're not comfortable telling that, you're free to do so. It's a good idea to tell some ranges but still, that will give them an idea and it's really up to you on how vocal you are. There's nothing wrong by telling it or by not telling it. Perhaps, it is you that's still make the money and you're the boss whether to tell them or not and give or not. It just varies from the beliefs and principles that we have as an individual aside from the tradition that we used to grow up with.

But that doesn't apply to our family, I think on the contrary, our family should know the source of the income we have earned so far, not to share or other things, but at least what we have built and earned so far, there are those who continue it or there are those who help it one day when we are no longer able, so I don't think there will be fear of not having our family earn income from the same source, in fact, for the closest family we can help to get it, not the other way around.

when you're quite young and under the watch of your parents, it might look like you have to tell them all the thing you're doing to get your money but when you become matured enough to make most of the decision by yourself, at that point you don't really owe them all the explanation about what you're doing for a living.

ideally, its good they get to know your job so they can possibly recommend you when opportunity springs out from their source but outside of that some key details like how much you earn should not be disclosed to them from the way I look at it. people in general including most of our parents firstly want to know what we do for a living because they don't want us to go into the wrong means and sometimes when they start seeing the way you're spending most especially when you're working remotely, the first impression that might come to their mind might be that you're possibly engaging in dubious and fraudulent means of making money. it's a natural concern every parent has for her young adult but once you've cleared their doubt, they won't take it serious again and will allow you do your thing.

this might not be applicable for the adult since an adult is assumed to be matured enough to take responsibility for his life but then, even if you're an adult or young adult, regardless of how you want them to know your level of sincerity with them, try and keep how much you earn from your job secret from them. it's very necessary

The way each person tells their family about their work is certainly different, because if it is only about technology, I think it is more about introducing certain devices that can be relied on in the work. Meanwhile, the way of working and the type of work itself must be explained in detail to the family that we consider the person to be an important person in our own lives. In addition, we also need to inform them about the risks that can arise from the work so that they are not surprised by it at some point in the future.

Indeed, as long as there's no illegal things that includes with your income-earning business or investment or whatever you may call it then it's a good to-go informing your relatives about where you are gaining money, also important that there are someone who understand and possible to work with you and will manage to adopt and continue things if ever something bad happened to you.

I think that parents should be informed about source of income only if person is underaged. Because if a teenaged comes with a million in his pocket, parents might first think that it is stolen. But an adult just need to tell that he is earning fair. I dont think that a lot of details is necessary to share with them. It is our life and we should live the way we want it. For example parents wont be happy if they find out someone is promoting one of persons sins - greed or a casino. Even though it does not mean that by promotion you do something bad, but they they will wind themselves up, that their child is exactly the one who hooks people on gambling and turn them into addicted.

I'll never run short of what to educate anybody who asks me about my source of income. I stress the conversation too long that they wouldn't bother throwing more questions. Except for my parents and potential clients, nobody deserves to know how I'm getting paid.

Funny enough, the people who asked me this type of question didn't pay my bills by any stretch of the imagination. What makes them think that I'll relay my source of income when they demand to know?

It depends on the situation because if you are kind of person willing to help your family there's nothing wrong to giving them an insight with your source of income because you trusted them and also it's good to be open on them. The another side of it let's accept the fact that not all family have a good management in terms of money sometimes they spent into useless things and in the sad part is on the bad way so for me it depends.

As possible handle it on your own to prevent having too much issue in life even it's on your family just give them a small details or insight and not all so you don't have problem on the future.

Sometimes when I talk about family I will feel a little lonely for a moment. But that doesn't mean I don't always communicate with my family. Well I communicate a lot with my family. But at first everyone only knew my source of income was only from my main job. Because I didn't tell my family much about my investment in crypto. Even though some of them already know it. But well I and they don't consider it as a source of income. But it's just like an investment place like the stock market. Luckily several family members were familiar enough with the world of investment so that even without me explaining, everyone understood it. But yes, it will be very difficult when we have a family that is quite unfamiliar with technological developments, especially the world of the internet. But because now our world is moving into the era of digitalization, actually, gradually and gradually, everyone will understand it without even needing us to explain it in detail.

This situation depends on a lot of factors and variables op which is why it's not easy to provide a generalised answer to your query. Personally, it was quite easy for me to specify my source of income to my own family since they are quite easygoing people.

I feel lucky since my family are quite understanding and carefree when it comes to these sort of things.

Congratulations, my friend, you are lucky because you are in a relaxed family and can quickly understand the work being done. However, there are also those who are in a very sensitive family and they keep asking about the activities being done. Maybe this is more about online activities, because if it is offline without being explained, they can see it.

From my experience, there are still many people who have not been able to keep up with the times, it could be because they are technologically illiterate or they don't care and end up not following. They will easily be suspicious of what we do, especially if it is online. We must be able to explain, because when we make the slightest mistake in explaining, then maybe they will misunderstand. My own family is actually also relaxed, because they are not so blind to the times. But what is a little annoying is the neighbors who have already concluded without asking. Lol

There isn't really anything that can be done, we are going to end up with a much larger situation and for that to mean something we need to consider that it is going to be harder. We are going to end up with nothing that large, and it has to be something that will take a while.

We are going to end up with a greater result if we just avoid telling anyone anything because they are not going to be all that helpful, it is not going to be great and it will not end up with a large result at all. I know that it is going to be tough, but we are going to end up with a great way of avoiding talking about it as well. Just learn to shut your mouth and if you can do that then you will have much less headaches from everyone asking stuff about it and requesting money.

Actually it would really be just that a matter of choice as an individual whether you would really be trying out to share it up or not, with your parents on which there would really be those kids who are really that trying out to hide something into their parents. Well, there's no mistake to that as long it isnt something a bad thing then just continue on what you are doing. We do have our own reasons behind on the actions that we are taking
and just like been said that as long it would really be beneficial on your part and into your future then just go ahead. There would really be just that a specific time or right time on where you would really be sharing up
all of those things but not for now. It would really be that depending into your own choice and preference. Therefore, it would really be that understandable that they would really be having those questions
on the time that they would be seeing something.

It would really be just that normal for a family to have such approach on which we know that they would really be that asking on the things you've been dealing with. They will really be that
in concern considering that kids nowadays are really that potentially dealing up on bad things on secretly. Therefore, it would be normal that parents will really be always attentive to those
possibilities and this is why its not really that bad for them to know things that you are really that into.

I certainly agree on this. Being open to everyone in your family is a big factor that you will manage things smoothly and not create a gap with them. As much as you don't want to hid something from them, I believe they also do the same.

Having the nature of my source of income is not actually a secret to them. They know what I've been doing and I love that. Privacy may be a good thing but I guess when it comes to my family, I don't have to take things privately but it's more on letting them know what I do for a living and even how much income I get from it. That's only my own way of dealing with my family, others may totally disagree with it as they also have their own ways.

There is a big difference between announcing your source of income to someone and introducing someone to earn from where you do. Then an extreme of it is telling people how much you earn in monthly or weekly basis. This is what many people do not do, because if you do and they (family members or friends), understand that you earn much more higher than them, this simply interpret that you will bear the burden of all the family members and friends whether relevant or irrelevant. Whenever you decline to do any you have become the bad person in the family or among the friends. This is common in African countries where people depend on others for survival.

I have a friend who is from England and whenever I chat with him and tell him how I help random people around me he doesn't believe. The only help he renders is whenever he wants to visit the charity. He says that everyone works and everyone earns for themselves what is the need of giving another. So people who live in this type of countries do not even need to bother themselves. You only have problems when you live in a country where they do not believe that one can earn without stepping out of his house. You will have to explain your source of income in other not to be labeled a scammer.

I once had a big problem with this and some people said I worked as a drug dealer. This was a problem in my life at first because in the area where I live people work according to their general jobs so when they see people working without an office it will be considered wrong. I also didn't try to explain anything because I thought it wouldn't affect anything because people are too ignorant to explain. But after YouTube and social media got paid when people created content slowly that thought disappeared.

Sometimes we don't need to explain anything to others especially to our own families because what we do should not be breaking the law. When we are too busy explaining, people can't understand because they don't know that there are quite a lot of online jobs available now.

As long as what we do is not seen as negative and violates norms and regulations, then why cover up the work because after all, trust between couples or families is openness.  Indeed we must also have privacy even though it is to our spouse or family but that does not mean we have to keep everything secret including the source of income and work that we have for privacy reasons because it will make conditions more complicated because there will certainly be a lot of prejudice that will certainly not be good.

As long as it doesnt contradict and lead to things that are considered illegal then I think it would be better if we are more able to be honest, not only for our own peace of mind but this is also to maintain the trust of our partner or family unless maybe the job is confidential which no one should know then that could be another consideration but when it doesn't interfere and can still be discussed then why be uncomfortable with not telling our job just for privacy reasons .

Good for you, internet really give us opportunities to earn and just like how those social media influencers did they bring it out widely and there are many people who wanted to have that same access and earn money, I guess your statement express the definition just need to let it go and allow those people to learn thing on their own and maybe time will reveal all those potential income earnings that can be done online.

It is difficult to tell your earnings from bitcoin as they have no knowledge about bitcoin and it’s working so better tell them that you are doing a freelance work and for this you will get paid digital currency. This is the best way to convince and understand your about your online earnings. As btc is not legal in many countries and people of that country facing legal issues so no one can believe what you are doing to earn money.

If you don't explain to your family what you do, how can they trust that you're doing legitimate work? If you are actually doing a legitimate job then why are you hiding it from them? That's what they will think. If you don't intend to explain to outsiders then I completely agree because they have nothing to do with us, but if your family wants to know then it means they care and worry about you. So, ignoring them is not a good thing as it will cause many problems that will get you into trouble.

Everyone in your family will start to doubt and you will also feel hurt, from there the happiness in your family will have cracks and you are the cause. I think if our family wants to know just because they are worried about us then there is nothing to hide from them.

I sincerely agree with you. It's just basic that some persons are not entitled to explain themselves especially when it comes to their finance to anybody, because it can be a risk factor too. You can even live a healthy life if you try not to let people know things about your income, because if you do, it draws unnecessary attention sometimes. As a married person I might try to explain it to my wife a bit about my finances, and that will be because she's my wife, else i can decide to stay mute on friends and relatives.

I just straightforwardly told my parents about what I do to make money. There were cons from them, ofc. But I'm telling them consistently that what I'm doing is not against the law nor do I harm others. Slowly but surely they started to understand and soften. Old people could be stubborn sometimes because these things weren't exist when they were young, it is hard to accept somethin that we don't understand and seen before. Sometimes they could be harsh and defensive which they will claim that they do that because they care and want to protect us, especially those who live in a quite conservative society.

Eventually they will learn and they will accept it. Just be patience and mind our manner and body language towards them.

My understanding is that each individual has their own way of conveying something that must be done, we understand that a person's character is different, for me personally there is no need to convey the income they get, because they know where the income comes from.

For that reason, for me there is no need to hide things from my family, especially about money, I admit that all the points you convey in the thread do make sense, but if you want to talk about it with your family, you don't need ideology and other factors, just tell them. , done, what else is thatwife or parents.

Not legal does not mean you can immediately face legal problems because people who use Bitcoin to earn income but they are in countries that have not legalized Bitcoin can also use various ways to exchange Bitcoin to other currencies such as the currency of their own country. So I don't think that it is a violation because they still use their own country's currency when they want to buy something in their own country and it is also quite appropriate to tell our own family so that they can also understand that Bitcoin can be a source of income for many people including ourselves.

Next time you want to write, ease don't use Microsoft Word, you text will disorganized and wouldn't align properly and readable, it will only frustrate readers and probably discourage them from discussing your topic even though you have nice contents in it.

Coming back to the subject, do you really need these formalities just because you want to inform your parent about your online source of income. It's only a fraud and crime that is difficult to explain because you don't have a way to discuss the source of the money. If you have evidence of payment and plainly explain where and how you make money, trust me your parent will understand and they will have nothing to worry about, it's only when you don't earn legitimately and no evidence to the source of your income you find it difficult to approach them.

Not good at the beginning because it affected the condition of my family so many people looked down on the work. But after everything became more familiar people began to see what really could be done positively. I just try to say that technological advances and accompanied by the internet that has been developing so has many opportunities for us to benefit because there are many things that can be done online.

Now many young people are starting to be open to sell products on the platforms available on social media and they don't need to rent a physical shop for selling. In addition they benefit from the sale of these products they can also generate profits from the contents they make to sell the product and this is truly a job that young people begin to learn in my area.

 Honestly, those who are aware of the presence of the Internet are not too surprised by someone's income that may come from the Internet. because now we can say that technology will be able to make someone think about their inspiration either in getting profit or variations like others, and this only requires someone's openness and way of thinking to explain what they should do.

If you are open and keen to find the best place that you can explore your skills then it's yes that the internet can really help you finding the right place for your talent, nowadays is no longer secret about income earnings platforms that can give you decent amount of profits, and aside from those real paying online job there are also investment where you can explore and learn for your benefits.

Just needed to be open-minded and have that better understanding to explore more, and in terms of sharing or providing information about how you earn, there's always a right time,place and person to discuss things and make them understand where you getting your income.

That is true, I have never asked someone their salary, sometimes we know what a person does for their job, and they tell you something and I usually do not say anything further than that neither, it feels like it is not something that large.

I believe that we are going to see a lot of people who do not really expect others to tell them what they do, sometimes we wonder what they do and ask, but then we do not ask how much their salary is, which is a totally different question and not many people ask.

If you really learn someone's job and their salary together, they are either very close family (father, mother, daughter, son, wife, husband etc) or they must be very very close friends as well, that seems like the only possibility. I have two very close friends, and I mean I would literally take a bullet for them, they are beyond brothers to me, and I don't even know their salary, so it is not something we ask that often.

Maybe that's about culture, I do not know about other cultures, maybe in other nations people ask each other how much they make easily? If that's the case then I can say that I do not live in a nation that asks those type of questions so we usually do not know each others salary.

In digital World, making money is very easy as comparison to last 50 years . Today is modern time and if people will use their mind ,they will earn Millions of dollars.  Now , social media influencera are earning best and they are giving content to the public and their earning is in Million dollars. If someone want to start a  business,he can start a business by little amount of Dollars because every person should learn marketing and if he learned marketing,he will be successful in life because marketing is main part of business and every business is flop if it didn't work on marketing. Now volgers are earning good and also we saw many crypto traders who are earning in million of dollars and online business is better than physical business and cost is also very low.

That was why i highlight this point you might not follow the steps but it will serve as a guide

To be honest, I don't really care about what other people say about me, and at first my parents didn't ask too much about the source of income from the work I do. I just answered that I work online, and that's where I get my income from. At first, that answer was more than enough, so that my parents wouldn't ask about my work and income anymore. However, over time, after a long time because the people around my place of residence didn't know about my income and work, some of them were surprised that I just stayed at home but could have an income. and that made them wonder about the income and work I had, even to the point of rumors and wild assumptions about me.

So even though I didn't care at first, I started to feel the pressure of this situation. I could understand their concerns, especially since I wasn't very open about my work. However, I still felt that I didn't need to explain everything to other people, especially if I felt comfortable and didn't harm anyone.

Maybe I could still close my ears, but not my parents. My parents started hearing whispers from neighbors and relatives, which made them start to question what I was really doing. This put me in a difficult position. On one hand, I wanted to keep my work private, but on the other hand, I also didn't want to worry or embarrass my parents because of the rumors. Which is why I finally decided to be more open with them, slowly I tried to explain more details about the online work I do and how I can earn income from it. Although at first they might not fully understand, but with a clearer explanation, at least they can understand the situation and feel more at ease. Still, I realize that not everyone will understand or accept the way I work.

It is even more difficult for you to tell someone who doesn't believe in bitcoin that you are earning in bitcoin because they will see you as a joke in the family, I remember trying to explain my work as a freelancer to a family member it took him time to understand what I was saying since he never believed in bitcoin but when I mentioned trading as what brings me money he was ok with what I said because to him trading is the only thing he said he is aware of in cryptocurrency.

What’s there to lie about? Why do I have to tell them it’s freelancer job when it isn’t? I don’t have to lie about and not everyone is meant to understand what Bitcoin is or what my source of income is. I would feel worst even, if I have to lie about my source of income. If your worth telling anything, then there isn’t nothing wrong by telling you the truth.
Haven’t explained to you how one can profit or loss from the volatile nature of Bitcoin, using demand and supply for a means to valuation, if you didn’t get that, then it’s not my problem.

You got a point. If reality will only cause confusion on their part, then it's better to just settle on what they want to hear to make them comfortable. After all, we don't earn in bitcoin and spread things about it, it's best to just keep it for our privacy. The important thing here is, you are contributing some financial shares to your family which I think we children should be responsible for that.

This was more common a few years ago, but since the pandemic began working from home has become way more common, so now people are more accepting of the situation and you can get away with it by just mention that you are one of those people, still there may be a few people that are not as comprehensive, but each passing day their numbers are dwindling, since working from home it is not only becoming more common but it is now an ideal for many people.

Yes, trading is also what I tell people most of the time. Apart from my job and my business, which I earn from, some people care to know about how I earn from the crypto space. Most of the time, I ually tell them that I am a trader, and I actually thank God that I do trade and earn profit from it, so it's simply to clear their doubt if it requires it. Most people don't really know that there are legit ways to earn money from the internet that are not just fraudulent. But if you tell some people that you earn crypto from the internet, they might think you are a fraudster, but once you tell them you trade, they seem to understand that much better. 

It is not a big deal for you to inform your family about your source of income, I think it is the best thing to do, in case of any emergency, for instance if you are dupe or you are being victimize, in this kind of cases you will need your family the most, and if they don't have any idea about your source of income, how could they be able to stand by you and defend you, I understand that family are complicated sometimes, but no matter what they are still your family and they are the ones that understand you the most, as people say "blood is thicker than water" whenever we are in doom our family use to be our last hope so what is the the essence of keeping secrets from them.

To me, I owe nobody any single explanation to my sources of income online as nobody feeds me and in as much as I'm doing a legitimate business online. I understand, how some people would feel when don't normally go out in the morning while others are going out Secondly, why this is a problem to some people in some regions, which mostly occurs in underdeveloped countries is due to the fact that, online business isn't much popular in those places, whereas this isn't a problem developed country where working online isn't a new thing.

You're right, to be honest, most of us still face these kinds of challenges in our lives due to the type of family we come from, some people find it difficult to tell their parents about their source of income or how they make money to pay some bills and items for the family, some parents don't deserve to know how much money you make, while some don't deserve to know where you get it from. I come from a country where some parents believe earning money online is illegal, so no matter how hard you try to convince them, they won't believe you, since we don't have any methods that can generate money for people here, and some parents think it's against the law to earn money without working hard.

The kind of family I come from is kind of cool, but I did not experience such things with my parents, I only told them about my source of income, I could not tell them exactly how much I am earning, so they shouldn't put some necessary bills on me. Furthermore, most of the time, my parents advise me to be careful about the kind of friends I choose to hang out with. I should continue acting like I am not earning anything because not all of them are praying for my success, and the world we live in is very dangerous.

Good point, if you provide information to how you make money online those who are interested to understand will take time to research it and will start to have that interest, though not all may take time and most of the time those who don't understand and no idea about crypto space or anything about trading concludes that it's only a fraud and might think you are just trying to recruit them or scam them out.

When I was a kid and earning money, I wasn't telling my parents how much I was earning because they would steal money from me if they knew. Now I am an adult and no one can steal it from me because I live independently and my parents know my salary but I still follow one rule that a friend of me suggested - When you earn 1000$, tell your parents that you earn 700$ and tell your friends that you earn $500.
I still don't share 100% true numbers to anyone, except the government where I am forced to declare my income.

My parents and relatives have no idea about my job. I work as a UI/UX designer in one of the local banks, I work remotely and my parents to this day think that I do nothing, play on the computer and get paid and they are mad about that. My parents were raised in a way that they believe money is only made by hard physical work.

Yes most parents are like that, we have different ages in making money, so we don't need to argue with them, it's just that you need to explain slowly to your parents very well, your work is very good as a UI/UX developer on a banking platform, and maybe you need to explain with something they can understand, like in the application they often use on their cellphones, and you need to equate that the display they often see on the cellphone/application is what you do with the computer, as simple as that I think will help them understand what you do.

People like to comment on things they don't know and are full of empty ideas on many subjects. You don't have to convince anyone of anything, but since we are in communication in many areas today, we feel the need to explain things to our environment. Explaining yourself to people who will not understand your source of income or the work you do can be a waste of time.

In some cases, we have to explain ourselves and we may have to talk about our work or the things we do in full detail. The person or people you are talking to should know how to respect when they don't understand you, otherwise you may have difficulty taking them seriously again.

Working from home has created more concern in our society. Where I live, people don't always get to see me outside unless I have one or more things I want to do like shopping or going out to have fun. Yet, they see me look good and take good care of my family. Only a few of these people believe in the fact that one can earn money legitly working from home while the rest feel it's either you're into fraud, scams and online hacking. However, we owe no one any explanation. They should think whatever they want to as it won't yield anything positive in our lives when we try to convince them.

I think the job of a UI/UX developer is easy to explain to parents because we can give an example of the appearance of a banking application that has been installed on a smartphone, I think parents will be proud of your skills that have worked in banking and they may not expect a detailed explanation of your work, the important factor is that the work must be good and legal so that there are no violations of the wrong work because usually parents consider income from the internet to be haram even though the internet provides thousands of jobs for those who have the ability and expertise.

Yea, that's what misconception does to people and it can only continue like that is the individual is not or does not allow his or her self to be exposed to modern technology and the new smart system at which people are making money from the internet by just sitting at home and spending just a few hours on their laptop.  Some persons can have such misconception but once you educate them of the right knowledge, they will learn and become better.

Yes in our eyes it looks easy to explain because we understand our situation with our parents, but we don't know his condition and how his parents understand things like this.

Because there are not a few parents who want to understand their parents' work thoroughly, starting from the work, the process and the salary that their children get, this becomes quite a headache if our parents do not understand what we have explained as simply as possible.

There may be no need to lie to family about your source of income. Because you are doing it for your family from where you earn money so it is better to share the profession you are engaged or from where you earn money with the family. Initially I didn't join the forum but then when I joined I shared it with my family and told them that I might be able to earn money from it sometime. As a child, I never want to create doubt in the minds of parents that they may wonder how their children are earning money.

I help my family with whatever money I earn and inform them about the source of this money which I find comforting.

My observation is that, before you let someone know of your success or your family members you have to understand the procedures of your success you to ensure that you have surplus, what brought some persons down today to the extent that they don't know what makes them to collapse from their business is that they began to help people when they have not be fully established well or succeed in life, I know that what makes people to think very well of introducing people their online business is because of some certain things for me I know quite well that keeping your self secret and your online business or job secret is something that will make you to be more prosperous

Mentioning it as a freelance job, there will be more question marks from the family, especially if you stay at home without any activity, often I experience this as an online gambling job considered by neighbors and some families because they don't believe in earning so much but staying at home.

So after explaining about bitcoin trading, and more detailed explanation of airdrop (because here more money is flowing lately) then some families have understood, he hasn't even asked anymore and some of my family invited to learn about bitcoin then this is easier they believe in us.

I don't know why some people find it hard to inform their family about their source of income online when this is the norm now in a modern economy. With the advent of the internet and the internet becoming the platform for almost everything, it's not hard to find a job online and to inform your family about your online source of income.

You should be honest with your family and not hide anything. If you're a freelancer, feel free to tell them about your job, how you are excited about it, and the many challenges you are facing.

How you explain depends on who is asking for the explanation. If their education is high, their knowledge about digitalization developments is good, then you can explain it simply. It's not the same as when you want to explain it to someone who doesn't follow developments in the modern world, including cryptocurrency, they will definitely be confused by the various existing terms if you don't explain them in detail.

Not many people in my family really want to know how I make money online. Even if they ask, I will also explain it as easily as possible so they understand how it works. But it is true, many neighbors sometimes wonder what I do for a living because objectively they judge me as someone who is well off.

Don't forget that we are talking about your family here and not just total strangers who may never be of help to you when you need them for anything. Regardless of how nobody takes care of your feeding and all I think it is important that we open up to some family members about our sources of income knowing that they will be the people to defend us if there matters may likely complicate you if no body stands out for you.

If you living in a developing country, it is important you let a member of your family know what you do so that you can be defended if there are issues that will need some one to stand out for you.

I understand your perspective, but there are times when I feel it's unnecessary to give an explanation to what and how I make my money, I'm just a student which is obvious but when I sit in my hotels and other students play around I get busy to an extent people began to look at me in a strange manner but fact remains that i owe no one an explanation the more the wonder the more I earn respect from them that's my believe.

But when it comes to family I could over up to a good level but not everything would be exposed on how I make money whether online or any other area because what they will begin to expect from you is very different from what they used to expect when they never knew anything about your source of income and this expectations are mostly what people do avoid.

Many people are very selfish with their own relatives, they think that if their relatives know their income, they will be taken advantage of .
I have seen many such cases and their life goes like this: if these people's life goes well, they will almost forget everyone around them and they claim not to need anyone in this world. But on the contrary, if they encounter difficulties, they will return to their families and ask for help .  Even criticize their loved ones if they do not receive help.

You are right , we are talking about family, who will always be there for us whether we are rich or poor , but many people are too selfish to always think bad about others . Especially those who are always there for us no matter what .

If I let time and results answer what I actually do in the online world so that it meets my own needs, initially my family always wanted to know how to work in the online world because they heard negative news about the online world.

 Finally, after I succeeded in producing and was able to increase my income, I told them little by little that they understood my work in this digital world, even though my family was still clueless about online technology, in essence I said that we work not to harm other people and also not to use other people for what we think. The important length that can produce it is the key to my freedom to work digitally.

Well, when I'm in front of the computer, they know that I'm working. Nowadays, it's very common to hear someone working in front of a computer, and on the internet. After all, I'm an entrepreneur, and I have several offline businesses. People I know know that I make money from the internet, and I don't need to explain it in detail because working on the internet is very common now. I'm also still trying to find profit in the world of content creators. So, I think they will understand it themselves even though it's not in detail.

If you don't trust your family members to that level no let them know your source of income, because there are some family members that will be looking for your down fall in your business, which they will use that influence of knowing your sources of income to bring you back to zero level in the family. But not all family members has this kind of evil heart, because there are some family members that will know your source of income and they will add value to your source of income because they are very happy about your progress and they can stand for you in any angle to make sure you remain on top in your source of income.

But if what you are doing to earn your source of income in the country is an illegal internet business in your country, I will advise you not to tell people you don't trust in your family your sources of income, because they will expose you when you have problems with them in the future, but if you can inform your parents, i know they will keep the secret for you.

Limitations in technological developments make it difficult for anyone to explain what they do to make money. Some people think it is impossible to make money with just a smartphone or laptop because their understanding of technological developments is very limited. I chose a very simple approach to explain to them where my income comes from, such as showing them the process from start to finish, even if they find it difficult to understand, at least they know what I have been doing all this time. Most of my income so far has come from Crypto, so I need to explain by describing examples like buying stocks or buying gold to clear their curiosity.

Sometimes, concerned parents and relatives can care to know your source of income, not for any interrogative reason, but because they need to validate the fact that you're not an outlaw or putting your hands in ill means of acquiring wealth.

Unless your family members are evil, I don't see any problem with letting them know. You can still choose to be secretive about your hustle and it's still okay, although I don't think it's the best. Effective communication increases family bond.

I'm not a fan of telling everybody about my finances, only a selected few from my immediate family and in my case it's just my younger sister that's aware of my bank balance, seed phrase, my other assets and also my next of kin

When I said not letting family into your private financial affairs, I did not mean that you won't let anyone know at all, but then there are some extended family that may want to puck noise into your financial life which I see as a flight risk because you may be digging your own grave without even knowing, I still remember when I visited my local village sometimes ago and my father and his younger brother who is my uncle, asked me what I do for a living, and I turn a red eye to my father for bringing such topic up when his brother was around.

The reason I did that was to send a warning to them that I am man enough to put up with whatever I do, be it evil or good, and I told them that if I am doing anything illegal, I should have been in police custody by now, and I also went ahead to ask my father that ever since you gave birth to me, have I been a bad guy before he said No and I told him he should leave me alone in fact I threaten to stop giving him money if he ever ask me such a question again.

This doesn't mean that my brother and my spouse does not know my source of income, but letting our age parent know our secret sometime we could be putting ourselves at risk because they own time is different from our so we need to keep them at distance.

It is indeed a smart move if your income activity comes from crypto trading, it would be very easy to implement it into other instruments for a clear and understandable analogy for our parents who are technologically challenged, but did you also tell them that you work as one of the casino signatures campaigns on this forum, because after all it is your job, did you tell them or not to your parents about this?

To me, saying my income out to family and friends is risky because you don’t know who didn’t want you to succeed; it might be your family member or a close, tight friend, so even if you are working online, as long as you know you are making your money in a legal way, then you don’t need to explain it to them. All you can tell them is to show them that you are Getting some money means if you are getting 100 you tell the family members you are getting 50 then the friend that you are getting 20 now one need to know your real financial situation because if you do that all of them will depend on you got their need, especially if you are from a poor family. 


You are the one that will make them suspect you because buying gold will not clear the Meir curiosity but make them suspect you more. Because some valuable goods or items can put you at risk and change the perception that people will view your habits. That is why even if you want to make them free from curiosity, you just need to establish a physical business, even if you will just be there to supervise as a manager. That will also increase your income and make them trust you more, but by buying gold, they will think you are just lavishly spending money, which means you don’t work for the money. 

That's nice if you have that patience to start from the beginning and let them understand the process, with such kind of attitude it will allow the people who are interested or those who wants to now where you are getting your money and how things being process online, technology nowadays is no longer that hard to explain with the wide veue of the internet not unless you are in a rural place where access is limited,

but in terms of those who have that access it's not hard to provide information and give them hints where and how you are getting your profits and possible to let them if ever that they'll be attracted with the process and how they can make things on their own.

The development of technology that is strengthened by the existence of the internet in most areas will make it easier for humans to understand how to make money through online processes because there is information that can be inputted to be implemented. In the past we made promotions in print media, radio and television broadcasts, but now we have social media to develop any business we have. In addition to making money online, people can also use social media to promote their merchandise because now it is so easy if people want to do it consistently.

But to tell the family the source of income that we have through investment in bitcoin, we have to see how close they are to technology and the internet because if they are not familiar with both, it will be much more difficult to tell them the source of income that we get from where. Our parents are not too familiar with investing in bitcoin and I am a bit hesitant about how to explain it to them so that it can be accepted because we are talking about the fluctuating investment journey that we are running.

I agree to this cause there's no point giving family much details about your source of income when you definitely know you're on the safer side like the source of your income is legit.

I wonder why some families tend to pressure one on this very thing I see it as a way for them to know the particular amount you earn and see more chances of getting funds from you when you're being paid.

In terms of the process I do agree that explaining is really tough as volatile market will give them a pain in the ass understanding how they can make money from this type of investment, and most of those people who got attracted because of money, they will quickly find ways to invest without fully understanding the system.

End outcome they might lose and they will blame the business, though if ever that they find ways to deeply  research and understand the flow, that kind of interest will allow them to a much widely idea on how they will be able to make money from doing this investment, not easy as it is but doable for those who can take time to study and analyze the business correctly.

I told my family long ago where my source of income is coming from. My family has been helping us a lot since I learned how to improve myself. Motivates me more on how I can do better. I feel very proud here because my family always help me and try to help me but there are times that celery is not always talk because if you are unmarried you can tell your family safely but if you are married you tell a lot. become difficultwill readSome money has to be saved due to which many times it has to be hidden from the family.

I think if you are a successful trader then you can safely tell your family because it is a very good job and earning is possible. On the other hand if you are a gambler then you never tell your family about it because it shouldn't be told.

When someone hears out about making money then this is something that talks about people will really be that gets interested and it will really be that just normal that they will really immediately dive in on the moment or time that they've seen some opportunity.It is really just that a normal approach for a human that they would really be that get interested on the time or moment such as this one. The only issues for this one is that on the moment that you would be making some advise or recommendations and if it turns out that their investment become negative then they would really be that become impulsive and loves to point fingers.This is the main reason on why I don't really like on making up some hints and advises in regarding about money or investment.I don't really like on getting blamed in the end.

As for the situation which telling your family about your source of income despite of being still dependent then they would really be having those kind of questions or observations on why the heck you could  buy things on your own or simple could be able to provide on the things that you do want.Actually I'm really that on the same situation on which hiding something from them would really be challenging but being open to them would ease out that burden but if you are some sort of whale then keeping secrets will really be your
Main priorityz but this do actually depends on someone's preference and feeling about the situation.

When they asked me where I'm earning money when I'm still new to it, I only say the word "Online" and maybe that's enough for them to think that I'm really earning money online.

While that was true, I still hear people saying around like "I'm not working, and my family is the only one that's working" because they don't see me going out in the morning, going to an office and going home at the afternoon. You know the typical 8-5 job. Nothing surprising TBH especially when you're living in a province where most of the people are earning through the traditional way and not the one that's becoming popular right now and that's working online. I didn't inform about my family exactly how am I earning, and they don't know about my exact income source until now, and I don't think that's relevant still to them knowing that they see that I'm not having a hard time in my life and I'm not asking money to them at all.

As for others out there, telling your source of income to them is a good thing and don't do the same as what I did. :)

For me I don't think that it is relevant for you to inform your family your source of income except the wife because informing your family your source of income is like someone who is letting everyone in the family to know the method he or she applies to make money so I don't think that it knowledgeable from my own understanding of investment method and also a business method because not everyone in your family can be happy for you to succeed in life I'm not everyone that we like you to be great for life so that is why it is not good to review your source of generating income to your family people

There can be no hindrance in explaining all these bitcoins to those who openly discuss everything among family members. However, there is no way to explain Bitcoin to those who do not have good relationships among family members. But I have informed my family members about my bitcoin investment long ago and sometimes I get encouragement about bitcoin investment from members.

Something that is easily obtained is not good because people do not learn through the process and for the long term process it will not provide a guarantee. If the income we get on social media by utilizing content, maybe this is easier to explain because they can see directly the videos we make and are paid through advertising methods or so on. It is precisely difficult to explain investment or trading because they will not easily understand the process that occurs in it. But fortunately now there is learning that can be seen in media sources so that when they want to learn to run they can learn first.

Operate investments or businesses must be based on the right knowledge so that if something happens they have knowledge in control. Although in running both risks cannot be separated because they are related to the money spent. But if they understand the pattern in running it will provide an overview before getting involved in it.

I agree that we must live modesty. There is no advantage to be flamboyant. Besides it takes people's attention, it just wastes money.
If we have extra money, it is better to use for savings or investment. We don't know how long we can get money from online jobs, it may be no longer exist in the future. If we have savings and investment, we can deal with any possible condition in the future.

Sure, we don't need to explain in details as long as our family can understand our explanation. But sometimes we can't fully avoid to tell it to our family. They should ask our jobs someday because it is something usual in our family. Because of this, we must prepare it with convincing explanation (answer). Even if it isn't a very detail explanation, it should be an answer that doesn't lead to hesitation/confusion.

Which one is true according to your story?
In the previous post, you said you didn't tell your parents yet. But you said you have informed them long time ago now.
Anyway, there is no need to tell them if they don't ask anything about your jobs.

I like the way you state your opinion, provide the proper guidelines and with good amount of time they might learn and it will help them a lot to understand things out, with that good knowledge that they might developed it will allow them to enjoy especially if they start to catching up and they manage to work their way whatever venue of investment or industry that they choose.

Telling your family about your source of income depends on the kind of family you came from, there are families you will come from even if you tell your parents that your source of is illegal they will encourage you to do more as long your bring money to family they don't care.
At this stage I can't really tell my family that my source of income is online though I have been educating then about cryptocurrency, because they will think am doing internet fruading that's a fruadster because they are Christian but I have a plan of telling them but right now am still trying to convince them that apart from internet fruading there are still other legit ways of making money online which crypto is included so by the time I will finally tell them about my source of income they won't think am into the other way round that's been a fruadster.

Anything that has to do with online investments should be kept private even from family, they can know about other sources of your income but when you are making money from forex or crypto trade it's better you keep it private because telling them about your profits if they are quite high might start attracting a lot of expectations that you might not be able to fulfill, remember that the financial market is filled with ups and downs, what happens next when they get too comfortable about your income and you blow your accounts, it's better you tell them about your jobs and keep your online investments to yourself

I would say it depends on the family, some people do believe that it is a good thing, some people say that it is not a good thing, depends on the family. If you have a family that are supporters of you and would do everything to get you a better life, then letting them know about your source of income is alright, if you have a family that has been a trouble to you all your life then you are going to try to avoid that if you can.

You may have a good family, I certainly do have a good family and let them know years ago, but there are people who are so terrible at parenting, it's really not a good thing and I read online so many bad parents as well, and bad couples too, so it was clear for them to just avoid those people.

I don't know why its an issue telling your family about your online work when this is the new norm now, The society is changing and we have such things as online freelancing, call center agents and data analysts These jobs are in demand, in fact, there are schools that cater to jobs online.

You just have to enlighten your family about the reality of working online; this is normal, accepted and companies are looking for people to work online, As it's legal, you have to be proud telling this to your family

There's no need to write guides like you've mentioned; these are all a waste of time, Just tell them right away, and your family out of love and trust will understand it.

Yes, this decision is very difficult, but my opinion in this is that you should not tell the family, well, whatever they want, if it is within your budget, give it to them, otherwise, collect it and give it to them. This will not make them guess their income, this will keep their intelligence on you and this will also help you collect small amounts of money that will come in handy tomorrow. Yes, if you want to tell, then don't tell the whole thing, but you should collect the remaining information less than that.  Because of this, there are many people who think a lot about doing this work but they don't.  I am very happy with this because sometimes not having income will hurt us and our reputation.

  Yes, many people will stop you from doing this work because they will say that there is nothing in this work.  And you should also tell your mother and father why what they need and not someone else or even your brother who works outside can contact you if he needs it for any reason.  is  This is the main reason to tell the whole income, we can't add our share of income to it, because if you tell it too, they will know about it and they can take it from you later.

Actually in this case we do not need to be afraid to disclose the work we do as long as it does not violate the norms and is not related to things that are illegal, I think it will not be a problem because in the end the family or closest people will also not experience problems with this.

The reason why we are afraid to disclose our work is of course based on a condition that is likely to become a problem in the future because in the end the family will also not prohibit or intervene when we are on the right track.

I don't know about other people, but I personally live with my small family and always tell them what I do. The reason is simple where I don't want to be suspected of doing something negative and to provide comfort to my partner and small family so that they don't worry too much when I'm at work.

I had a friend who invested in an online platform, and he kept it secret from everyone. His wife only knows that he visits a particular website frequently but she knows nothing about the investment. Sadly, he was involved in a vehicle accident and he died. The family only needed his email and password to claim his funds but they couldn't find any. The family lost the money because nobody knew how to access the funds. Someone should know what you do online because life is unpredictable.

Is it possible to that family to show that online platform death certificate and get access to his account? Not 100% sure, but if a person dies, even if he did not make any testament, after a period of time, his family get access to his bank account. Family also did not know neither login, not pass, but they get funds. I think that family should read that online platform rules carefully, and with help of a lawyer try to get access. That «online platform»  most probably is something official, not just a «wallet on a pc», to which, if password is lost and owner is no longer alive, nobody would ever get an access.

You're a good guy and a good husband/dad to your wife and kids but I think it's also not wrong to have something in secret and it doesn't mean that they are bad things. Also, there are people that even if we are only doing the right thing, they can't help but to think negatively to us but we shouldn't mind them because it will only make us go paranoid and lose our focus on what we are doing. They must be the ones who will end up looking crazy for having that kind of manners or mindset.

Yeah right. We must be proud in fact and our parents must be proud of it as well when they found out because they can think that it was cool and when someone heard of online job, the first thing that comes in their minds is that the pay rate for it is good but this can also be a misconception since there are still lots of online jobs out there which are only paying less. This is why some says that this still depends on luck.

I won't only say that the society is changing though since the items that you have listed there aren't still new. It is just that during the Covid times people are mostly staying indoors, so this makes them to be highlighted again. Now that Covid is over, a lot of jobs have also been returned offline.

It's not that big of an issue. We live in 2024, everything can be accessed as long as the devices are available where the accounts or funds are stored. If someone passes away, their devices such as the mobile phone or laptop/pc will be left for the family to have, even if the device has a face lock, fingerprint lock, or any sort of lock, there are ways to unlock it and any software guy with necessary tools can do that, and once the device is unlocked, the same thing can be done with the accounts involved. The person must have had their Gmail accounts logged in on the devices, and that makes it easier to reset passwords and authentication methods.

To be honest, I believe it's easier to gain access to online accounts than to gain access to bank accounts or accounts that are with central authorities because they are going to give you a hard time with the process. It wouldn't be as easy as submitting the death certificate and getting the funds, no, they are going to make you do a hundred things, sign different documents, submit a bunch of documents, and still wait for a very long time before you are possibly given the funds kept in the account of the deceased.

This advice you said does not seem bad to be applied by everyone who already has a source of income in forex or crypto trading. But I think it will not be wrong if we tell them about what we do in the forex or crypto trading exchange because we ourselves can also explain the risks and potentials in the market so that those who hear it wisely will definitely understand the market conditions that are not always profitable for all traders. Besides that, keeping it a secret from your own family can also be a bit suspicious because when we have a lot of money from market profits, they will also ask where the money came from so we ourselves must also say it clearly rather than lying to them with various reasons.

I agree with you, at least someone should know because we don't know what will happen, not expecting, but this is a form of anticipation of something unwanted. Don't we work for them (family)? So when they can't feel it because something happens to us, then it's a shame. Maybe it would be better if we kept it a secret from someone other than family.
Maybe some of our family members don't all understand the digital world or technology, but maybe there is one of them who can be relied on. If we are married, then we can tell our wife, that's a good choice. Yes, maybe op thinks not everyone can be trusted, actually I also agree with that, but I think we can trust family members by looking at their nature and personality.

Because after all, openness to your partner or family can actually make a good relationship situation because we don't have to bother to cover everything including work matters.

But even so I don't think that we should always be open because surely we also have to have a special privacy space because not all openness will produce something good but for work issues I will not cover it up because in my opinion it is one of the things that my partner needs to know so that he knows where the source of money I get to support my partner to date.

Not to say that covering up work is considered bad because as I said earlier this is only my own perspective but when there are those who do by covering up where the source of income from their family is for others it is up to each individual because after all we cannot force ourselves to be open when it is difficult to disclose for privacy reasons.

True or not you informed them I don't see anything alarming about that being a matured man you're responsible for yourself and how you make a living shouldn't be forced out of you to explain just to satisfy others curiosity. When family members get to have a clue about your source of income and how much money you probably be making, they tend to increase their billing on you base on what they believe you're making either monthly or weekly because it's captured that you can afford it. So keeping them oblivion saves you to a large extend.

I like that last statement, if you give them idea if how much you are earning then the obligation for paying bills will be the next thing that you'll see coming, if they have the idea then they will put more for your monthly or sometimes even the daily as you are in the house and they'll think that you need to help, sometimes it's best not to let them know and just give whatever you can afford to help, in terms of other concern it will be on you if you want to share and if how vocal you are from your family.

Well, sometimes family wants to know our source of income and make sure it is a clean source of income. Many people know that there are a lot of scams on the internet these days, and our family doesn't want us to be those people. Therefore, it is very important to let them know about the basics of what we do on the internet, so that they know too. However, as you said, it all depends on how your family perceives you. However, I feel that it is important.

Yes that's what family do I mean the extended family especially, a portion of them possesses that feeling of self entitlement. I have this friend that is currently facing this situation and he hardly have money left as savings for his personal upkeep and it's really affecting him that a day don't go by he doesn't complain to me how he regret giving knowledge of his income range to his family and the worst aspect of it is that he's this too generous kind of person who hardly says No to family.
The crux of it is that the less people know about your income the less inputs on demands comes.

Then if I told parents that I earn due to cryptocurrency price growth, they might not be very happy about it. Cryptocurrency itself does not generate money. If I have bought bitcoin @ $20k, and sold it @ $60k, that means somebody has lost $40k on trades or bad investment. I have earned because someone has lost. The fact that my success depends on someone else failure might be disappointing for parents, when they find out it is all money related.

But I would make a drama, would not make special preparation and prepare soil for a pleasant conversation with parents if I was to tell them about how I earn. If I earn honestly, then there is nothing to worry about it. 

I think it's a good idea to tell your family about your income so far, with the need to convince them by all means, even though it takes time but in the long run they will definitely understand it, that way the family's suspicions about your income will be better understood.

Those who have difficulty telling their families about their source of income are most likely because it is illegal or uncommon such as gambling or other things that are quite difficult to explain, but if the results are from creating a YouTube channel and so on then it should not be a problem to tell them.
I only tell my family when they ask, because I feel it is not mandatory to tell them, they understand that I get money from online work but how they never ask, but currently the signature campaign is not the only activity to get money I started working again in the real world so that's enough work that I tell if my family or friends ask about my job.

it's very sad news, your friend invest in an online platform whatever amount is small or large but this was his hard income but after his sudden death, his family or friends no one can find this money, it's not expected. so i think that we have secret assets or online investments or fixed deposit in banks, at least we should tell our any family member or someone very close friend, if we die due to any such accident then my family can find our assets.

Assumptions about the difficulty of someone understanding investment issues depend on the person's own background. I don't think we are in an era where it is difficult to understand something that many people are interested in, including cryptocurrency and others. There are many learning media that can be accessed online both visually and reading, they just need to be interested in it and want to know and find out.

Regarding the issue of cryptocurrency investment, including Bitcoin, it seems easy for someone to give a similar analogy to other investment assets such as gold or currency. Forex and crypto investments are basically not much different, it's just that there are some differences in terms including where to trade them. Bitcoin and other crypto assets do not have physical properties, while forex of course has physical properties with each fiat, as does gold investment.

If no one knows the investment assets that we have, of course this will be very unfortunate if something happens that no one wants and what has been collected is of course very useless because no one can use it and because of this incident no one can know it, of course we must have someone we can trust and give a record that they can indeed use If something like the one you mentioned happens so that they can take advantage of what we have collected so far and also we have to give them an idea of how to make good use of it so that it can be used for what they really need.

Or, those who have difficulties sharing information that they earn and how they do it, have them because they feel shy to share information with parents. I remember I was shy to tell my father that I have bought a car, because I knew he will not be happy about the manufacturer and model I have picked. I hid it for several months, until forgot keys at home. In a situation with earning online, not every parent understand that the world has gone digitalized. Some parents understand and accept earnings from labor, from working with hands. They dont understand how come someone click few buttons, and earn in a week the amount they earn working daily for a month. Some parents think that when their kids spend time behind pc, all they do is "doing stupid things". For example many still cant understand that game streaming can bring more money than going to office 9 to 5.

Better understanding is what's needed and like what you mentioned there are many available venue of information if the person is really interested to learn, it's just a matter of how he adopts and how willing the person to listen if you share the ideas, especially with the emerging technology where investment are everywhere, the presence of internet gives everyone the advantages to learn more about the venue of investment that you are trying to share.

This is how it happens for you, but for me it's completely different. Nobody cares what I do on the Internet, if I bring money into the family. Yes, sometimes they ask about it, but as soon as I start throwing around jargon, they immediately ask me to stop. This is where my self-deception about earnings comes to an end.

And lately I've been trying to keep it as quiet as possible about it, so that there are no unnecessary questions. I don't like it and some people don't need to know.

Not sure whether you get my point or not. TBH I don't really care which one is true, but I hope he wants to recheck again his previous posts. Wouldn't it be better if he posted a genuine story?

Sure, being a mature person means you have the responsibility to yourself. It is your income, other people have no right to force you explaining your income. However, when it is your parents, I'm very sure you will explain it if they ask about your income.

For the parents, I think it is no problem to tell your source of income even if you may not tell the amount of your income exactly. But for other family members, it is no need to tell them about the source of income. The bad impact won't be only about billing, there will be feelings of jealousy among them about the income if our income is higher. Sure, it is better to keep it secretly to avid the possible bad impacts.

The topic of communicating what you do online or your work online to your family members depends on the kind of family you have, your communication skills, and your relationship with your family members.

If you have a family that is strict, or they find it difficult to understand anything that is not a conventional nine-to-five or white-collar job, then you take it slow with telling them. You wait for them to ask. As long as you are not doing anything illegal, you wait for them to ask.

Or, if you don't want them to ask, you just have to have one brother or sister or cousin or uncle or mom or dad that you know how to relate better with. So, you can tell that person. You don't necessarily have to even tell the person the full detail. You could just look for a word - maybe crypto investment or crypto something, just something.

Or tell them airdrop and explain the basics of airdrop to them. And then, like I said, your communication style. Some people don't know how to communicate naturally; it's like an issue.
So, maybe if you can't tell them to their face, you could just send a text message to a family member you are closer to, that you know will help you with the communication.

And your relationship with your family - like some people's family will barely ask them because they don't have a good relationship with them. So, everybody is just on their own, doing their own stuff. But then, if you have a really cool relationship with your family, then telling them what you do or rather the basic knowledge of what you do online shouldn't be an issue.

For me, we will just talk about it and move on to the next topic. It shouldn't be so hard to communicate with family. I mean, we grew up with this family, so it shouldn't be so hard telling them that, 'Oh, I do crypto online,' 'Not everything online is a scam,' 'I do this, I do that.' So, that's it

You're right, our family sometimes wants to know our sources of income to ensure that we're earning good money and not stealing from others, however, our parents understand the pain it is to steal from someone to meet our daily needs because they wouldn't be happy if someone scammed them out of the money they need to support their family, so they want to ensure that we're not earning from the wrong source.

However, I have faced a similar situation in the past. My parents didn't ask me how I was making money without troubling them, but when one of my uncles noticed that I had changed and stopped asking for help, he informed my parents that I was engaging in fraud and scamming people to make money, which is why I no longer bothered them, my parents asked me how I was making money, but I didn't tell them how much I was making, I didn't think it was wrong of them to find out, all they wanted was to make sure I wasn't taking advantage of people to get money.

As a parent point of view then you would definitely be wanting to know on what you kids been doing or whatever the things they've been getting involved with on which we cant really just that let them
be not guided because there might be some possibilities that they might already doing something stupid or bad. As a kid or children then dont get mad if there would really be those kind of checks that
your parents been doing because this is really just that part of their responsibility on checking out their kids and trying out to monitor them whether they are still that doing good and having no problems
and if there's one then this is where we can make out those kind of open forum in regarding about our problems on which its a common approach thing. It would really be better that you should really be that
obeying on whatever they've been saying.

Speaking about telling your source of income then it would really be just that depending on you, if you do tend to make or keep it as a secret then better not make yourself
not too obvious when it comes on spending or buying on things because it would be impossible that your parents wouldnt be able to notice out specially if you are still that young
and didnt still finished up college and have job. lol

It is better tell them the exact amount you are earning I total I agree with you because the moment they know they will just want to shift everything to you and that is not going to favor you because you will be dependent on even with you own money again they will always want you to do more than them financially because they might feel you have little money problems and if not for the selfish interest of people why will you think because someone is earning well the person does not have a problem. Even people that we look up to that we think are rich have their own problems. As far as you are working and you are in the house they will want you to contribute but when they don't know what you are earning they won't be able to ask for much and that is why keeping the amount I better.

And I know that their are people that even their wife don't even know the amount of money they are earning just because of the nature that women have of always wanting to spend because no matter the amount you leave for a woman they are still going to spend it and that is why we have to be very careful of the kind of information we are leaking out especially if we have a good job, they might been having a feeling that it going to huge but they won't be able to ask how much is your pay, as far they can ask then I have to keep it to my self, since am the one doing the work it is best known to me.

I don't think lying about the actual amount someone is earning, either weekly or monthly, will stop your family from billing you. It would be better for them to know how much you are earning, and then you can try to support them with whatever is possible. That should be for close family. As a married man, you know it is your responsibility to provide what is necessary for your family, like food and shelter.So, as a man, you don't need to lie to your wife. What's important is that you always have your calculations ready. When the end of the month arrives and you receive your salary, always try to buy the necessary things needed in the house. By doing this, I believe it will avoid further billing.

As for other family members, what you have is what you can support them with. Anyone who bills you unnecessarily, you can simply tell them you don't have it, and that's all. Don't try to impress anyone, because most people that all family members focus on billing are those who always try to please them by giving whenever they ask. But if you keep saying you don't have it when they bill unnecessarily, they will eventually stop demanding from you.

You're like a free guy and that's a better state in your family compared to the others. You don't have to be bothered whether you tell them or not because they'd ask you then later on wouldn't care about your answer.

Much better to keep quiet, it's nice to talk things like this with your family but if they ask you to stop talking and that all they want is silence then keep it as they like.

There's no need for you to stress yourself explaining with those jargons and other unfamiliar terms to them. That also saves your time and effort.  :D

At the very beginning, it just got on my nerves. You can't even imagine how much I didn't like it. I had to somehow get out of it so as not to offend my family. I used this practice of answers that just became boring. And it worked. Now no one asks about how I conduct my activities on the Internet. They simply lost interest in this matter. If anyone needs it, then take note. ))

Now I use this method to answer constantly and it all works great. People don't want to hear if a person throws out terms that they don't understand and quickly switches to another topic.

Maybe if the condition of one of the family members is considered less able, subsidies/first aid still come from the family members themselves, with the note that they are asked or not. However, if all are in a good economic condition, the assumption of borrowing and lending must exist, but in a small category, the volume and duration of repayment will also be on time.

In providing assistance, the emphasis is also not free from propriety and does not interfere with routine monthly expenses, meaning that it is truly a safety fund that is issued for subsidies

I feel you, that last statement about wife not to generalized but it's true, there are people who don't disclose their monthly earnings to their wife as they don't want to run out of budget after, but moving back to the actual concern it's more on your self decision as you needed to balance to whether you are willing to share the information as long as there's no illegality to where you get your money,  as there are many available platforms over the internet,  it's just on how you explain and the way you shared the information that matters.

You are probably referring to the extended family because I don't see any reason why your siblings or your parents wouldn't be happy for you if you are earning money while sitting at home. I work online as well, and my family has always been happy and supportive about it. I never needed to explain much to them, but when I withdrew my first earnings from my online work, that was enough to make them realize that I wasn't just wasting my time sitting in front of my computer all the time.

At first, your family, especially the elder ones, would think that you might be playing games or watching movies if they see you using laptop or computer all the time, but if you show them that you are earning money from the time you are spending then it becomes understandable for them and then they would never say anything to you regarding it.

As for the extended family, you don't need to tell them anything.

I agree with this… I think that income is personal and they have the right to privacy and they do not need to tell their family about that income. Even when you are a student, when you go to work, when you have a family, I think it is right not to disclose your income to your family or relatives. Sometimes when you encounter difficulties, you share with your family, that is natural?? But the issue of sharing income with family and relatives should or should not, there are many problems that can arise. There are people who will use income as a measure to evaluate you and your family - I have met them and it has caused many conflicts. So, for me personally, I do not share.

That's true but when it comes to parents I don't feel is all parents that would understand even if it has to do with money, you still need to explain further than you just said because some parents prefers to see you walking out every morning like every other young individual with some files and other things that's when they'll believe you without you saying much, just tell them you're going to work and that's it.
For the young ones they are the ones you can easily tell without thinking if they'd believe at first explanation or not because they have a more open mind that these sit at home job do exist, as for extended family I agree with you and I don't think such information should be disclose to them even in the dream😏.

My advice is to avoid telling them. Some parents just won't understand. And if you do share your income, they'll likely assume how much you should be saving。

In my opinion, the way to tell our family about our source of income can be done gradually and honestly. For example, by explaining what job we do, starting from how the system works and the amount of income earned. If for example our family sometimes does not understand our type of work, try to convey it in simple and easy-to-understand language. The most important thing is to be transparent and show that what we do is legal and brings benefits for the future.

In the side where you just needed to being honest then yes that's how you need to approach just let them know what and how you deal with your source of income, as long as it's not illegal and we are making more out from it then maybe interest may take place and your relatives may get attract and who knows maybe they also get attached and start engaging following your footstep to also earn out of it.

it will be difficult to present with my family members about source of income, because they have no idea about cryptocurrencies and other online income, they don't know how to use crypto, i never hold big amount of assets in my wallet, my 70% money in the bank deposit and if something wrong happened with me, then my family can easily will get back my money from bank because my bank nominee from family members.

Yes, the point is to be honest and transparent if the work you are doing is a normal or legal activity in your country and also if it is a type of work that benefits each other between you and the owner of the work, then I think it will not be a problem for your family as long as as you said, you must be able to explain it simply but in detail and clearly.
Something that your family definitely wants to know is how you make money and what you do so that you can make that money, and the point is if your type of work is a normal, halal and legal job in your country, then I think there should be no obstacles or delays in being open to your family, unless otherwise.

In the family nothing should be done without the permission of the parents especially earning bitcoins. Whatever you do in life you must share with your parents.  If you try to convince your parents well they can definitely help you regarding your income.

If in your family members do not understand well about crypto then choosing to teach them is certainly better and I think if you explain well slowly they will be able to understand it and if they want to be involved in making money in this field it will certainly be very good to be able to increase their income, for now I think most people will prefer to keep their assets in the form of crypto rather than saving in the bank And even most people nowadays only keep their money in the bank for their emergency needs and daily needs only, the rest of them will choose to invest their assets in crypto, but if you prefer to keep more of your assets in the bank I don't think any of your family members you can give you an understanding of crypto.

There are ones or individuals who would really be that tactful or someone who do really opens out into the things that they are dealing on with and there are ones who dont really tend to share up on what they are really that been involved into specially if this one involves making money then it will really be just that up to you whether you will be teaching them about on what crypto is all about or would really be focusing on what they are really that currently dealing. In speaking about if your family would be able to observed it out on what you are doing and since you are really that being independent on buying things since you could be able to afford. It will really be that normal that they will really be that asking out on what are the things that you've been involved with. We do know that family members are really that too observant on things on which if they do seem that its already that obvious.

Totally depends on the situation on which if you do find out that its a bit complicated on sharing up things with them then you could really always opt in not to tell on what you are currently dealing with
and just remain silent or making up some few explainations or alibis on where you are been involved into. Theres no harm or bad to not to share up some secrets on which its none of their business
on what you are dealing into. Just make it sure that it doesnt really affect out the family entirely.

Some people tell their families about their sources of income, while others don't. The important thing is for people to support their families. Providing information about your source of income and having your family comment on it can help you see things from a perspective you can't see and you can start earning more income. It's good to talk about these types of issues with people you trust and your family.

Some people don't tell anyone about their sources of income, but they always support their families and their surroundings. Having the necessary information and ensuring the continuity of their sources of income should be people's priorities. How you use your source of income is important.

Exactly, it's nice to hear insight from those people who you do trust, with their inputs you might learn something though not in the sense where you are earning it but moral information that might help you to improve more.


It's a choice to make, as long as you are not doing any illegal and you do things in a responsible manner then there's no guilt inside you and there's no obligation that will force you to provide details of your income.

Since you know the kind family you came from, that if you tell them your source of income, it will not hot your source of income in the future, you can go ahead and tell them your source of income and how it work for those that invest on it. You don't need to tell the amount of money you earned per month or week because you don't know the mind of your family members in money aspect, because there are some amount of money you will call and it will make them to be jealous of your source of income which it can make them to plot or plan evil against your source of income.

If your family are educated, I guess it will be easy for them to understand your explanation about your source of income through Internet, and they will believe in your explanation because people are more use to Internet to study these days than physical books.

Oh wow! You really did say that!! Don’t mind my asking but, your some kid or something??? You mustn’t answer that though but, am sure you know there comes a time in life when you ought to take lone decisions that would direct how the remaining phase of your life is run.

By the way, how do you expect some of these old forks to understand what Bitcoin is about? It’s not something of there generation and as such, it’s always going to be abstract to some which means, there ignorance could be a hindrance to your forwardness if they don’t agree.
Would you really let that happen to you?

So long as it’s not illegal, your okay. That’s how I see it and it’s not compulsory you announce yourself.

By convincing your family about the income you earn, that is the best way for them to think positively about your income so far, that way the family can understand it, because by telling them your income they will not ask about your income repeatedly and make you comfortable.

That only applies if all of the family members are understanding. But there are families where one or two of the family members are not understanding. They'd ask you for everything that they don't have yet because they know that you're earning decently. You have the choice not to allow them to know how much you are earning because we're all soft if it's about our family, we don't want them to suffer hardship but we work hard for them.
And that's why all you need to do is to keep it for as long as you can and save on purpose for your future and just help them when they're in need. You don't have to tell them everything about the figures you earn.

While I do agree that transparency is important, but it's not only a matter of transparency, it's  also about how much the person you're talking to would understand. And trying to bridge that gap by simplifying it helps a lot, focusing on the value of the job and whether it is legal or otherwise. The comfort level regarding the disclosure of income is different for every person, and it depends a lot on the cultural and upbringing factors. In fact, experts say it's okay to explain your job and income over time, rather than all at once. It's often less overwhelming this way for family members who may not understand your business or industry. A good mix of disclosure and discretion can prevent awkwardness from occurring in the first place, where a misinterpretation could arise.

Of course, it is important to discuss income among family members.  In particular, parents must be informed about the source of income because as a child, it is the responsibility of the child to inform their parents of how they are earning from any source. My Bitcoin earnings are already shared among my family members and they are confident about my earnings.

Firstly, income from business online depend on your parent viewed because most of them still difficult for accepting the way how to earn much money from online business because most of them still have traditional mindset. My parent still not understand well about how technology development but I just talk them about basic way how to earn money from online business exactly with bitcoin, but for some parent have easily using internet I think not problem talk them how the way earn money from online business by giving source link or reference discussing about bitcoin and altcoin.
For the bitcoin investor or trader don't hidden anything from your family or your parent because when some thing bad happen to you  have opportunity get recovery back your cryptocurrency assets.

Well, most parents indeed would find it hard to understand or accept that a person can earn money online if they are old and have never had things such as the internet or electronic devices such as mobile, laptops, computers, etc. In their prime, people used to go out, work in offices or as labor to earn some money, but nowadays, a person can earn money while sitting in the comfort of their home, and they wouldn't understand how this works easily at first.

Parents tend to be very loving and caring for their children, and they will always understand them so well. So despite what I just said above, if you make them sit with you, and tell them how you do it, they will surely understand, not because they understand the things you mention but because they believe you, they will be happy if they see you becoming successful in your life because nothing is more important than their children having good lives for parents.

I can only give to you that is if l want to give but l can't be transparent with any family. Family will never understand when things are hard for you, they think all is always well even when things gone wrong. There are some families that are never ready to assist you but always expect you to do them, they are very selfish and greedy, it's in there bloodline so you dare not eat from their pouse. No matter how the persuasion l wouldn't let you know about my income, l wouldn't want someone to spend it for me you understand. Some parents will be like, now that this money has come please send your aunty some cash she really needs it, send your grandma some money too so you can leave long like her,  l also need little cash to pay my debt, l told the person that immediately my son receives his pay l will come and pay you too. Or do want them to come arrest me because of dept? They will so trouble you if you tell them about your income. Better not.

Well for me my income is something I do not like to discuss with other people. And this does include my family that will ask me for a loan if they know my income.
 
I just do think it is too personal for people to know the money I do have and can spend if I want to. And if I do sometimes get a small bonus for my hard work my family will ask me for some of it.

Different generations see different opportunities, you are right that if a person has been used to working with his hands all his life, then proving to him that he can earn the same or even more on the Internet will be very difficult, especially when this is an elderly person who can hardly find the necessary information on the computer. But the younger generation first of all turns to earning money on the Internet, who are quicker to find what they like with the help of freelancing, and earn enough money to live. What you believe in, that's what you get, I like this expression.

It is very important to let your people know about what you are doing even if they don't understand try to confuse them with something that will make them understand because these days we human beings are weekend, your parents might not want to know it by force but just for your safety and the duties of parents they will ask but there are some people outside that will be doubting you whenever you have started earning money and they don't know the sources of your income and they want to know, it has happened to me and my friend not just once, people in our areas start doubting and be surprised of how I start earning money without having a good job or seeing me with something important doing to the extent that some of them start saying some negative things about us that we are scammers and I'm just laughing because they people are saying it are all illiterate and I don't see any of them that is graduate that is why I didn't mind what they are saying.

If your parents believe in you and trust you they will never doubt what you are doing and even if you explain to them they will understand, my parent is a graduate and he understands technology and immediately after explained to him he understands, I never feel bad whenever the people outside said negative things about what I do because all I see with people saying negative about your progress is jealous and it is because they don't have the opportunity to do what you are doing.

To avoid constantly pleading with or asking for help, I find that telling my family about my source of money is actually not a big concern, but telling them about the figures I make can seem like a major deal. Family plays a significant role in a person's life, therefore as long as your source of income is obtained legally, telling them about it shouldn't be a problem. A person's salary can be used to gauge their worth or significance in society, and disclosing this information to your family can also help you gain mentorship, business guidance, and other support.  If you have a legal source of income, you can either tell your family gradually over time, taking your time to explain to them how and where you get it, or you can just approach them directly and have a one-on-one conversation with them by setting up a meeting or something similar. and inform them of your revenue stream.

I believe that if you're a hard worker, your family will either figure out how you make a living or discover how you do it, or they will want to know everything you do. On the other hand, if you're a private person or don't like to discuss personal or professional matters with others, you can choose to only tell them the very beginning of what you do for a living. There are benefits and drawbacks to telling your family about your source of income, but the benefits, in my opinion, are more when it comes to receiving mentoring guidance.

Someone source of income should be in private, when you start to review your source of income to everyone around you, you will began to have haters, because they will like a situation for you to educate them your source of income so that they will be making same money with you,

For me it's not encouraging exposing your source of income, because that will bring future downgrading, for me any business that gives daily bread have to be very secretive to you, so people will invade your source income, theirs some people you will bring up in business and they come against you, for help you render to them freely, so it's better you remain silent and run your business

Yes, I understand that everyone certainly has their own perspective and thoughts in responding to the topic of discussion above, and I think it doesn't matter because after all it is your money which means it is your right, and for me personally, honestly my family knows about the amount of my income from my main job and so far this openness has never been a problem, and also I don't mind giving some loans to my family, especially my parents, if I do have an amount of money that will not be used in the near future for anything, because after all I think that after all they are my family who have raised me, so I never have a problem with it.

But of course it would be a different story if the one who knows our finances is someone else, or I mean I also hide my income from my circle of friends or people I know, because after all money is sensitive.

Agreed, telling the world about how you making it in the cyberworld can never be the smartest thing because not everyone is happy for you or wants to see you succeed .

And some of these problems are self inflicted because before you know it you will be given some kind of financial responsibility because they believe you making easy money out there and should be spent without any consideration as they think you have disposable income.

For your mental health and stress free life , some things are best kept to yourself.

That's a good approach. I also don't disclose my earnings to my family members because then they demand more from me, ask me to pay expenses that aren't my duty to pay and put more pressure and responsibility on me. When I was a teen and working, they knew my salary and were taking some money from me, which was a good lesson for me to leave the house and live alone.
If you live in a poor country, you shouldn't discuss your salary with your friends too because most of them always ask you to lend them some money, usually a small amount of money and then don't return it and if you ask them to return back, they look at you like what's wrong, it's a small money, you shouldn't ask me to return it back. I know this sounds crazy for people but that was the mentality where I grew up.
You should not only inform your family members about your income but you should be regularly complaining about how you don't have money and how your life financially sucks. That's the lesson that I learnt.

There is a dark side of your strategy. If you keep your family in dark and never explain and tell how your earn, but all the time show that you have money and spend them, family, especially mother, might start thinking that you earn by stealing or trading something illegal. I cant explain why, but parents always think about the worse. And longer you keep all that in secret, to worse methods and scenarios of your earnings they will think about. This does not mean that now everyone must go and tell every single detail. But saying for example "I work and earn from IT industry" would be always enough.

Not to mention, this will create a huge gap between family members. If we always try to hide everything even from our closest loved ones, it will only lead to the breakdown of family relationships.

I don't understand why so many people like to think badly of their relatives when they always think that relatives would ask for money or borrow money if they knew we had money. Do these people ever put themselves in the shoes of their loved ones? @mich: How would you feel if your loved ones always hid things from you because they were afraid you would borrow money from them when you knew they had a lot of money? Are they really that bad or are you just trying to impose your thoughts on others?


I remember many of us here often assert that money is not everything and cannot buy family happiness. But the funny thing is that these are the people who value money more than family and only think badly of their loved ones, while their loved ones are the ones who are always there for them no matter what happens.

Telling family members about how to make money and where to make money itself is a very common thing because it is a natural thing that should not be avoided by anyone. Because there will be beauty and also more enthusiasm when we can struggle together with our own family in terms of earning money even though each member of our family also has their own goals in life that are not necessarily the same as our own goals. But in a case like this, of course there is nothing wrong with telling them how to earn money because we can also consider it as an obligation for ourselves in terms of supporting the family and also helping our own family from the difficulties of earning money in their lives.

I've read a few members here say they didn't need to tell friends or family members about their jobs or what they're doing to make money. I don't think that should be the case. We're social animals and as such we don't live in isolation. Someone in the family has to know what type of job we do. Otherwise, no one will trust what we can do; whether we do illegitimate jobs or not. I can keep what I do away from public viewing but not completely from family. So, because it's online it should be a secret? I'm sure we would tell them if it were offline jobs, right?

I used to have that as a dilemma with my mum when I switched online. She used to habour that fear it could be something illegitimate like internet fraud until years went by before she understood partially the nature of my job. We shouldn't say because no family member is tech savvy and so we shouldn't tell them or hint them of it. We should for record purpose.

I am not here to blame mich and I would never do that, but I dont quite understand "will ask me for a loan if they know my income" and "if I do sometimes get a small bonus for my hard work my family will ask me for some of it". I dont know relationships in his family, but if my family asks, I would not hesitate to share my money. After all they have been giving and providing me everything for ages, and giving money will be least way to repay.

I think there should be openness and communication, especially where the source of income comes from that we have tried from various sources of work, both physical and non-physical. I think, this is where empathy will be born from the family, especially our wives, how we have tried so far in fighting for the wheels of daily life to run normally like other people and of course it cannot be separated from praying so that it will be made easy by God Almighty, the amount of which will also vary not the same per month, sometimes small and sometimes large.

In that sense, I guess for married couples they need to understand where the sources of income is coming and for them to help each other to work it up and make sure that they know that the money is legally being earned, and also, the good thing if your partner knew your source of income there's a chance that they will help you to enhance the opportunity when they know what help you need to keep it rolling.

Communication is indeed something very important and not only in a family, but also in outside life, this is something important. Problems may occur due to lack of communication and it may have fatal consequences. In a family, openness is one way to build good communication, but we must also have trust between each other. Because when we or family members do not have trust in each other, then it will still cause suspicion which will eventually cause problems. What I mentioned are some factors that must be considered and all must be continuous between one another so that unwanted things do not happen.

But we do know that not all family would really be having that good members on which we know that each person does have their own behavior and own approach towards things. There would really be those members who would really be that supportive and there would be those who are easily get jealous on the moment that they've seen other members are starting up to climb into the ladder of success. This is why it would really be that situational into this aspect on where there are moments or times that we would really be that trying to shut up our mouth and would really be dealing up with things secretly just because you do know on what kind of family members you do have. So it will really be something that differs on this aspect. If you would really be having that kind of transparency or open-mindedness towards them then it would really be that up to you.

When we are still that under our own parents then it will really be best that you should really be that informing them but you shouldnt be explaining or telling them all. Giving them at least some hint on what you are
dealing and dont make it that too much exaggerated specially if you are really that making some serious money. We do know that people could changed up instantly when we do speak about big money.
Tell them like this and the basics and always keep some portion to be that in private and not needed to be shared.

He's not the only one doing so, I see a few other members also giving similar views on life to him and they even take pride in it. Like I said, I'm quite curious that they are the ones who say that money isn't everything, money can't buy happiness...but in the end they are the ones who value money more than their family, even the people who gave birth to them and raised them like their parents.

We just discuss, not blame or criticize because our lives are not related to each other, no one helps each other so no one has the right to blame each other. I just want to ask him why he did that and how would he feel if people did the same to him, is it true that money isn't everything in life?

A couple of times people who are too inquisitive about knowing everything about you are the same people who tend to have secrets they won't ever tell you, they are very secretive but want to know the least of your secret
Those kind of people  don't deserve to know much  just so they don't use it against you one way or the other
Personally I think people should not even be concerned about what people do especially when they are not of any questionable character or found wanting
