In today’s age, earning big doesn’t just change your lifestyle—it can also change the expectations of those around you. This point was driven home recently when a Nigerian man, known on X (formerly Twitter) as Omo Akin, shared a cautionary message that has since gone viral.
Omo Akin warned that people who suddenly start earning large sums should be careful about how they spend on family matters. According to him, unchecked generosity can lead to disappointment—and even regret.
He wrote:
“When you start making big money, avoid spending excessively on family problems. If you go broke, they’ll switch to a new spender.”
The post struck a chord online, sparking a flurry of reactions. Some users agreed, sharing their own stories of families expecting financial support, while others argued that loyalty shouldn’t be measured in money.
The debate raises an important question: How do you balance helping loved ones while protecting your financial future? Omo Akin’s message is a reminder that generosity is admirable—but wisdom is essential. After all, money can make or break relationships, and knowing where to draw the line is key.
