My best friend and cousin look uo to me but there more successful than me?

[Anonymous]

I'm older than my best friend by 4 years and my cousin I'm older than by 5. But they thy say they look up to me and thanks for being their for them.

They both didn't have fathers in their life. my personal life is trash. It weirds me out when they say they appreciate me and everything I did/do for them.

Can you really look up to someone you make more than?
They not have great careers.

I make decent money at a job I don't like. It was my cousin birthday and he told me thanks me you always been their for me when nobody else was.

Give them emotional support or advice.
But don't let anyone take advantage of your money. Lack of father needs emotional support and affection.
Many adults still make their own money even if they have a full joint family.
I don't know your friends or cousin intentions. They can genuinely mean it or are trying to manipulate you to take money.
My dad's sisters used to PRETEND a lot.

No they make more money than me. But they look up to me.

Then it's so cute and adorable because it's really genuine.
