how to inform your family about your source of income

[Jibdeen]

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.

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

[Akbarkoe]

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 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.

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. 

[Yeesha]

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.

[Franctoshi]

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.

[SmartCharpa]

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.

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.

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.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

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.

[Onyeeze]

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
