017: Why Sending Money Home Is Keeping You Broke (And What To Do About It) | May 5, 2026
Anxious For Nothing with Bimpe - Time Management for Working MumsShow Notes
Hello Sis,
This month we are building — and I am starting right where the pressure lives. If you are the one sending money home every month, covering school fees, emergencies, funerals, and someone else's rent while quietly wondering when it will ever be your turn — this episode is for you.
I share my own story of watching my mother send money home her entire life, the houses she built that were taken over by relatives, and the hard questions I have had to sit with since she passed before reaching retirement age.
Black tax is real, and the cultural obligation is not something I take lightly. But so is your future — and right now, too many of us are last in the queue for our own lives.
You will come away with a clear perspective on the real cost of overgiving, and one honest action you can take this week to begin holding your line — with love, but firmly.
Key Points The real cost of black tax — beyond the monthly transfer Why both sides of the remittance relationship are losing The difference between cultural love and financial self-destruction How to hold the line with family without burning the relationship Why building yourself first is not selfish — it is stewardship
