I run a modestly successful small gardening business. It took me a year to really get it going properly. For context im in my 30s and have worked in really demanding jobs to get into a position to start something.

Ever since I went full-time my sibling has had this attitude like I just won the lottery and wont share. Other people have also started acting like im driving around in a RollsRoyce with a monocle, I don’t really get it.

I give my sibling left over gardening supplies and i’ve sub contracted another friend who lost their job. Trying to share my success when I can. Whats with the hostility? Have other people experienced this kind of thing?

    Oh yea. And they only ever see the upside of what you do also; you couldn’t possibly experi3nce any form of hardship or stress while you fill all your golden hefty bags with cash. It’s funny… in the start, friends and family don’t support you much and ask about your little business, but when it sticks or takes off, they then have this idea that you’re doing too well and I think they don’t support you because they are slightly jealous.
