For illustrative purpose only
My husband and I have been pretending to be poor, and it’s actually working out really well.
We started this whole thing because my family treats anyone who has money like a walking ATM.
A few years ago, we received a decent inheritance, and almost instantly, family members started hinting that we should share it and help everyone out.
We decided that the only way to avoid all these money requests was to act like we were struggling.
