Your Question:

How do I tell my family I'm broke?

Answer:

Telling your family you're broke can be a difficult conversation to have, especially if you've been trying to keep it a secret. As someone who's struggled with being thrifty but miserly with money, I've learned that honesty is the best policy. It's not about pleasing everyone, but about being transparent and open with your loved ones.

In our household, we've made it a point to regularly discuss our finances and goals. As a pastor, I've also taught our family about the importance of generosity and giving. We've even written a family mission statement that reminds us to live out our Christian values and doctrine. It's not about being perfect, but about being intentional with our resources and seeking God's guidance.

If you're struggling to have this conversation, I would suggest taking a similar approach. Sit down with your family and have an honest discussion about your financial situation. Explain how you've been managing your finances, and what steps you plan to take to get back on track. It may be a difficult conversation to have, but it's a crucial step in building trust and working together as a family.
