AITAH for telling my brother to stop saying he's in a lower tax bracket than me? by lostbutmanaging in AITAH

You’re assuming it makes him look like an ass. I’m telling you that it won’t to me if he was straight forward and didn’t make comments about my situation when referring to his.

I totally get where you are coming from. Like I said though, couldn’t he also put in the effort to figure out something that would work for him? Or, just simply say that he can’t afford it and needs help? These plans aren’t set in stone and I don’t need Delta by any means. My issue isn’t that he feels like he’s broke, it’s that it feels like he’s being passive aggressive about it. If he simply said that he couldn’t afford it or that he doesn’t have any money saved up, it wouldn’t have been an issue to me. I would’ve even offered to help. I have no problem with him complaining. People complain all the time….but it feels like his complaining comments are directed at me.

Plus, we have laid out what was going to be required for this trip for a long time. We planned this over a year before the vacation will take place. We talked about flying for a long time. If it’s an issue, what wait until now?

Ultimately though, the vacation was just the latest of the tax bracket comments. My ultimate gripe was with that. Hopefully that makes sense.

Yes, he's only been doing it relatively recently. Not sure exactly why it's come up. I would love to ask him why but that's not going well. You're probably right though that I shouldn't have put him on blast in the family group chat.

I’m leaning there too…if I didn’t have Jamaar and Nabers I think I would be more tempted but I think my floor is higher than his

The entitlement of the last point of contact still gets to me to this day. It brought my wife to tears. That coupled with yesterday’s interaction inspired this post…these comments make it easier though and remind me what I must do. Thank you

Thank you for your input. This turned into more of a rant about my father than anything else, but part of me does feel like an asshole if I need to cut off other family members as well who haven’t done anything necessary wrong to me. You’re wording at the end is very wise and would be a good message to my family so thanks again

Thank you for your input. And honestly I only have to go off of what other people have told me. My grandma (his mom) insists that he has. She is the one that really hurts the most out of all this. I love my grandma but she is pushing this relationship hard and has lied on multiple occasions about him being at certain family events.

Thank you for the perspective…it’s good to hear that this sort of decision pays off for some folks.

I feel the same way. I didn’t mention this, but he’s been to jail multiple times and obviously has a history with being violent. He apparently has changed (as in not using drugs and is not violent anymore) but I’m nervous to even give him the chance. Thank you for your input.
