There's a reason that people wear stupid masks to cover their identity when they accept lottery winnings on public broadcast. It's simple– they don't want their family knowing that they're overnight billionaires. For some reason, people think that they're entitled to a portion of any family member's financial success just because you're related. One man found out the hard way just how far his brother was willing to push him to get 'his share' of family freebies, forcing him to teach his sibling a brutal life lesson.
After allowing his brother and their family to live in one of his rental properties, the older brother started to sense that things might go sour. The younger brother, at first, was determined to improve the property, buying things for the house and then "taking the buyers fee" out of his monthly rent. The older brother never asked for these changes to be made to the house so he simply asked him for the full rent amount and to leave any renovations to him, the property owner.
That's when the scamming started.
The younger brother started to run out of money and kept pushing off rent payments, begging his brother for an extension and never following through. Finally, the older brother got fed up covering the costs himself and letting his brother take advantage of him. He listed the house to sell and his brother was sent an official eviction notice. Ouch.
Fuming, the financially irresponsible brother called him saying that he should have offered it to them to buy, but the older brother was wondering what kind of money he had stashed away to buy a house when he didn't even have enough to make rent? The younger brother went on a revenge spree, bad mouthing the older brother to the entire family. The older brother gave the family members their own chance to cover the cost of his brother's debt and nobody stepped up. As it turns out, when you give family an inch on money matters, they'll take a whole mile.
