I'm embarrassed by my family. We don't have money like my friends, what should I do?

Well, if your friends are being rude to you about it those people are not worth hanging out with. Don't be embarrassed because you can't help it and this is a life lesson for you. This means you are grateful for what you haveand you will appreciate things a lot more. But again if your friends are insulting you about it those people should not be your friends.

Well think about your friends, if they were truly your friends then would that matter? I am sure your money would have no difference in their friendship.

talk to your friends and family. that's all you can really do unless you are old enough to get a job and help out.

Depending on your age, you could pursue a career of your own to help with expenses. This is slightly extreme for some, though, so my best advice is to work out a style for you with what your family has and can afford. Keep in mind that others are not better than you just because they might have more money.

Money isn't everything. Usually families with less money turn out to be harder workers, and in my opinion it is better to be a hard worker than a spoiled, rich person. When you get older, you start to realize that money isn't everything.

I think it is important to remember that what people REALLY value in other people is who they are. We are in a world where we all seem to think that we are only as valuable as our bank account. In reality, the one thing we truly remember about people is how they make us feel.

I don't know your age so it depends... If you are mature enough you can go and earn money yourself...its not right to put all the responsibility on your family.If you are a child or teenager then you should put up with your condition and support your family emotionally)

if your family doesnt have money thats not your problem look at all the those great business men they all were poor but worked hard and today see what they are we dont need to worry about the money. If we work hard we will get it, if your parents didnt earn enough that doesnt mean we will complaint about it the result is even we too will never earn better work hard and you will be accomplished. Dont give a chance to repeat to your kids about the same dialogue.

Embrace it!! This is something that I grew up with, I made Goodwill shopping a new style at my school! Why go out when you could go stargazing, or drive around in your crappy car, make new adventures going hiking or learning to make things with your hands!!! You wont become dependent on money and will have potential to learn saving skills and financial balancing from a young age.. Really, there is nothing that you should be embarrassed about, own it!!! Life isn't about how much money you have but how happy you are and I truly believe that statement!! If you are having any trouble or feeling embarrassed, feel free to contact me and I would love to talk.

Don't be embarrassed. Why not pick and choose what you can afford to do, and also suggest other activities that aren't too pricey. I find that it doesn't matter about money, but the personality of a person, and good memories come for free:)
