Khatam, tata, Goode,” posted a Reddit user. “Paisa itna kamao ki 4 log bole hume bhi do,” joked another. “Never ever disclose your true income to relatives. Better to keep it that way,” suggested a third. “True, my dad never told us his income for years. We only found out when we looked at his passbook chance. even then that’s useless cause he has set it up so that anything above 2 lakhs automatically becomes a FD. The house was turned upside down when it came to paying for college fees because we had only 1 day’s notice (and it was bank holiday) and he had nothing. Tldr: OP, don’t have money sitting idle. so whenever someone asks you, just say your money is tied up in so and so and you cannot cash it out,” shared a fourth. “Tell them you lied about your income and you are currently in debt and ask your relatives to pay you back the money they borrowed,” wrote a fifth.
