I'd like to know what you tell your friends and family about the amount of money you make? And how has it affected your relationship with them? I make 5-10 times more than most of my friends/family. They don't know that and think that I just do ok. I'm afraid to tell them or spend money on expensive stuff because I think it will change our relationship.
What do you tell your friends and family?

As little as possible. Usually nothing. The money thing between family will only cause rumors, whispering, speculation, and animosity towards you behind your back.
Pro tip: When visiting family, leave the Benz at home. Take the beater instead.
The same is true for going to work when you own a business because your employees can be just as bad as your family.

I invite my family over to pick through my shit and look for diamonds. I eat a lot of diamonds, because I can afford to, and I know that they are hurting for diamonds and don't mind sorting through my feces to get them, so it works out for all of us. They are so preoccupied with the diamond hunt, that they never stop to ask how I can afford to eat diamonds in the first place.
Don't you get a free diamond at the bottom of every box of AfricanChildLabor-O's breakfast cereal? That's gotta be where they come from.
MMmmmmm blood diamond chocolatey goodness. Fucking love that shit.
Remember that Sally Struthers "adopt an African child" commercial from way back?
Well, I adopted a whole bunch of 'em, and I sent them to work in a diamond mine.
I just tell them that it just "pays for the bills" or "Online Human/Drug Trafficking" . That usually shuts their mouth for good. 2nd option is best to permanently never have you talk about this topic again :^)
So let me understand this. OP is intelligent and creative enough to find a way to make 10 times what some members of his family earn doing internet marketing, yet totally unfucking-able to come up with some kind of semi-plausible story to tell them as to where all this money is coming from?
Bullshit.
I only tell my close friends and immediate family (cousins, parents) what I do. If anyone else asks, I just plead the
lol this.
Oh shit...wait...I did it too. Bragging anonymously FTW!
How you like my epenis now, bros?
