Why do people flex money they don't have?

you should have just burned her. no funeral, nothing, should cost anywhere from 1,300-3,000

he never gave him money if you could fucking READ, dipshit
greedy. he's greedy. it's not hard to see.

I can read, but being the better person means more to me

was your mom abusive in any way towards your brother?

I'm so much better than my brother

Repent sinner.

Not worth it

It is

he never gave him money if you could fucking READ, dipshit

Clearly you can't read the OP. It was the last line.

Just tell him you're disappointed he was bragging about having money and is flaking so hard, and from now on you're just not going to expect anything from him financially. From then on, don't offer to do anything with him that involves money, period. No shared travel, not even restaurants because you just know he'll try to stick you with the bill.

If his wife says anything tell her that her husband is a broke ass nigga who needs to get his shit together.

f**ebook marketplace for fucks sake

He's a liar plain and simple. He doesn't make 130k a year, he doesn't get unlimited overtime, and most likely the only thing he's telling the truth on is moving back in with his dad.

As you are brothers you should love each other but never donate a cent to him ever again and when he comes by lock up any valuables, that's what we did with my brother. I love my brother, I love it when he visits with my niece and nephews, but I would never offer him a single penny to bail him out.

Nah everyone on Anon Babble embraces the Anonymous ethos and is stealth wealthy while pretending to be broke as fuck.

My brother is a sociopath and I would never loan him a single dime or care if he was homeless. In fact the only person I care about in my family is my mother and I would help her whenever she needed it. Never lend your brother another cent and if he ever brings up needing more money tell him pay the originals or fuck off. Despite what Christ cucks want to believe, family is NOT always deserving of unconditional love and you need to set boundaries with people that take advantage of you

How the fuck does burning cost three grand? Y'all niggas never made a bonfire?

b-but muh """proper corpse disposal""" laws

Call it a religious rite and make it a 1st Amendment issue.

You got punked. You can either beat his ass or accept your big L. Personally, I think it's not worth crying about.

LARP bot text

My dad had this identical issue with his brother back in the early 1990s when his dad died

His brother still hasn’t paid him back for his part of the funeral costs lol

Ask him what to do

This. He's a loser who pretends he isn't, this is the button you need to push. And keep pushing it until he breaks.

Just send him a message where you say your yearly income and how much you paid for the funeral

4chuds pretend to be broke but are actually broke

No. OP is obviously the firstborn and the slacker brother is rhe baby of the family. Never loan/ front money- esp with family- that you cant afford to lose. Blood is thicker than water and must be guarded- its your privilege as rhe firstborn/ better man.
It is never about what you get- its what you become to receive it. What we do here echoes into eternity. Trust the Lord Jesus Christ who set the example.

If the relationship strain doesnt matter just straight up tell him like you did to us

You said you make 130k/yr but cant bring up 1k?

Ironically Jesus brothers actually bitched him out for being a deadbeat and not taking care of their mom

Your brother doesn't have any financial obligations in this situation.

every employer i ever worked for was super scummy with overtime

Don't reply and don't contact him much anymore unless you're willing to assume the responsibility of an older sibling, but be aware that he will try to parasitize you and keep appropriate boundaries.

It sucks when you lose a close relationship after you give them money. I don't even care about the money and would never ask for it back but the associated pride and shame with the situation ensures that things will never be the same again between us.

This. My brother is also a sociopath and a massive schizophrenic on top of that. He constantly takes advantage of my extremely religious mother and makes all kinds of excuses to avoid responsibility despite being 40+. The only solace I have is that he's an actual fucking faggot who's never going to breed and can only imagine how much worse it can be if he was a woman with the same shitty traits.
I suggest OP just to stop bothering with him unless he wants to be taken advantage of time and time again. A shit family member might as well be treated as a stranger.

OP here, I'm actually technically the second born. But he's my half brother.

The truth is that poor people (people who aren't straight up independently wealthy or own their own business) shouldn't be fucking around with money with each other. Neither the giver nor the receiver know what they're doing and they just ruin their relationships.

This is basically every bragger I've ever encountered, working like a dog 80+ hrs a week talking pretax bs. 40 hours is the only real comparison and I can't even quantify salary cucks because half of them do 60+hrs too

Your mother's death should've given you more perspective in life. Money isn't everything. If your brother flexes wealth he doesn't have then that's his sin, but don't look at the spec of sawdust in his eye while ignoring the plank in your own.

Just ask if he can pay over the course of a year. If he's that stingy that he wouldn't help pay for his own mothers funeral then just cut ties.

My brother and I are really tight, were both Anon Babble autists so we don't have this problem which I'm thankful for.

a guy that is making good money is not going back to live with his father, it doesn't make sense at all

10,000$ for funerals is very expensive, your mother didn't have savings?

tell him he needs to pay his part and if he refuses then cut him off out of your life

your mother took astrazeneca, pfizer or johnson&johnson by the way?

what kind of guy talks about relatives like this to total strngers on the web? seek help OP

So he probably does make tons of money. But his $70k truck, $40k credit card debt, weekend bar trips, door dash addiction, yearly vacations, and other bullshit has him drained. If that nigger needs "savings" to move then he is permapoor. Moving costs close to nothing unless your living paycheck to paycheck. That nigger probably has $2k in his savings.

Try to forget about it OP. People like him don't have their shit together and are always struggling. He isn't sitting there counting his extra cash, he's probably on the edge of financial disaster just like so many others. Him paying you would mean being late on his car payment or some shit. My sister is the same way, some people just can't get it together.

10,000$ for funerals is very expensive, your mother didn't have savings?

No she was a free spirit hippy with no sense of responsibility/planning.

your mother took astrazeneca, pfizer or johnson&johnson by the way?

Unironically no.

Johnson and Johnson.

Nah I don't want to press it. Currently seeing if this retard can keep regular contact with our mentally disabled sister (he doesn't). Trying to get some kind of value/use from this brute.

He might just not feel comfortable getting ripped off by a funeral director as much as you seem to be? Spending 5 figures on a funeral is highly abnormal. Over here on average it costs £4k. Your parents (unless they really are the boomer stereotype) probably wouldn't be comfortable with their son using money for a home deposit to pay for a lavish funeral...

He could give me $500 or whatever split was required for a cremation. Why is it either $$$ or absolutely zilch?

Even cremations are $1k-$3k if you want the ashes.

not funny

good call

Replying "its no rush" when he tells you happy birthday will make him hate your guts. You're not getting your money back anyway and are just slowly destroying your relationship with him. See

What a piece of trash. I hope he and his whore gf die slow and in pain. Preferably by his new house caving in on them like a literal tomb.

i'm already prepared for my 2 elder sis to stiff me on my mom's inheritance. my eldest sis will give me some sob story about how my other sis is not married so she'd need more money to take care of herself as she reach old age.

die

become a financial burden to your family

OHH SAY CAN YOU SEE
