Should I expect anything from my wealthy uncle?

[tec699]

My uncle is down for Christmas. He bought my parents a brand new hot tub last week and he's going to buy his brother a nice used pickup truck this week as well.

Maybe he's in the Christmas mood!

So if you were in my shoes would you expect a nice big Christmas gift? I just graduated from College last week and it's Christmas. Plus, I'm broke.

Am I just a greedy brat? If you were in my shoes would you hope for something nice?

If I don't get anything I'm fine with that as well. I just thought I'd put out this question to see what everyone thinks.

Expect nothing.

That way, if you get something, you're delighted, and if you get nothing, you're not disappointed.

I'd definitely hope for something fingers crossed

That's true. I'm not expecting anything to be honest. He's actually kind of cheap. He's very conserative when it comes to finances.

You're a greedy brat.

The best you'll get from him is a 2006 Mustang.

Are you close with him?

My rich uncle is a wanker. Each year he gives me stuff that he used and doesn't need anymore because he upgraded.

Last present i got from him was my current 19" LCD.

Just cuz he's a wanker doesn't mean im not gonna take his stuff. But go in as though you aren't gonna get anything. When he gives the gift, it'll be that much better.

Sounds like a bunch of crap for sure.

What a wanker.

EXACTLY!
This is the best way to live life, imho.

Why worry about whether he gets you something? Why not get him something. Maybe a gag gift or something he would never buy for himself.

Well, my uncle asked me about how much trunk space I have in my car for the drive home... so I'm getting something big.. uh oh.

You're calling a guy who gave you a 19" LCD a wanker? I sure hope you're being sarcastic, and even so, it's not funny.

Be sure to update us with the cool stuff he gets you.

 

[monk3y]

I wouldn't expect much... but then again. I don't have a rich uncle.
