My uncle makes comments on my finances all the time.
I grew up middle class, mom was a teacher dad was a school bus driver but they are amazing and generous parents which is something I’ve never taken for granted. My uncle, my dad’s brother was a teacher and my aunt, his wife is a big wig in high finance and they do well for themselves. They have a daughter my age and we’re very very close. Despite my parents being middle class they got me a car when I got my license and helped me pay for college, I always had a job during college but that was more for spending money. My aunt uncle don’t do anything for their kids no car, no college, never spending money when they were younger. That is fine everyone has different boundaries with their kids, the problem is my uncle constantly talks to me about finances in the most uncomfortable way. I am currently in grad school, I pay for it myself, I pay my own rent, and I work full time. Every time I see him he makes some sort of comment on “and your dad paying for your grad degree!! Awww” (which isn’t true) or “I’m glad you were able to come visit your family in your nice car your father bought you!!” I’m in my mid 20s now and I am so appreciative of my parents it’s not lost on me that they did a lot for me, but I also think it’s not my uncles place to insert himself in things he doesn’t know and doesn’t involve him. I want to say something next time he says something to me but I don’t want to be rude or make anyone uncomfortable, how do I approach this?
