Is it part a "pre-nuptual"?

Meaning no disrespect to your mrs, but sending money to the family seems a bit much. I can understand helping in an emergency, sending money at Christmas etc., is a family thing. Expectation that the rich guy in the UK is now the family bank account, is a big responsibility to continue. There may be a time when you cannot send any... then they and you are in deep du du.
I suppose if you feel obligated to help. do it as a gift and vary the amount and frequency of "issue".

I may have the wrong perspective on this. My Ella has a good job and her brothers both have jobs and Nanay is 73 and still working!

I was with the family about 8 weeks ago... they were spening money on me!
