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?

    First rule of being wealthy/successful is don’t tell anybody you’re wealthy/successful.

      Totally not wealthy yet haha thats why I was so surprised. First year in and its pretty modest but I suppose they assume I am. Definitely will not be letting people know when it gets really profitable thats for sure!
