I (25F) have been working two jobs for the past year to save for a house down payment. Three months ago I also started a small TikTok shop selling vintage clothing that’s been doing very very well like about 2.4k as an avg in profit.
I like to gamble a bit here and there and like 2 weeks ago or so won close to 5k on jackpot city and its only him who knows about this. I kept this side hustle quiet from my parents because they’re traditional and always criticize everything.
Only my brother (22M) knew about it because he helped me film product videos. Last week, he asked me for $250 to go out and I gave him 50 instead cuz 250 was way too much for a simple go out.
He got upset and immediately told our parents about my “secret business.”
Now my mom is constantly asking for details and the main thing that I ever wanted in my life was to keep my financial life private.
My brother asked for money again yesterday, saying since our parents know now so there’s no reason to say no. I refused and told him I won’t be giving him money ever again after breaking my trust.
He says I’m being petty and that “family should help family.” AITAH here?
