From Support to Entitlement: The Reality of Black Tax

In this episode, we dive into the reality of Black Tax and the pressure that often comes with being the “successful one” in the family. We discuss how extended family members can feel entitled to your earnings, the challenges of setting financial boundaries, and the emotional toll of constantly being expected to provide support. We also explore the experiences of Nigerians living abroad who face repeated requests for financial help from friends and relatives back home. What starts as a one-time favor can quickly become a regular expectation. How do you help without enabling dependency? How do you protect your finances while maintaining relationships? Join us for an honest conversation about money, culture, responsibility, guilt, and the importance of healthy boundaries.
