Talking to my mother about stuff. She starts telling me about one of her aunties and how she would occasionally live with them (and between my grandpa's other siblings) because never got married. She was a NEET who just got by on the income made from the rice fields she inherited from their parents. Just telling me about fond memories of her and how she always preferred to live with them over her other siblings. How she would look after them, tell them stories etc. Apparently she would get sick sometimes and my grandpa would pay for the hospital bills then just told him to pay him back she would give her portion of the land she owned.

Fast forward I'm in my mid 30s, never married, work min wagie jobs and live frugally. Live in my sisters backyard in a basic room that used to be a backyard office. Will my nephew and nieces consider me the same s my mother viewed her aunty or would they see me as a loser?

I currently have around $120k in my stock portfolio which I add most of my income to nowadays and around $150k sitting in cash. Think that and whatever everything ends up growing to is enough to pay my sister's family back with?

What are some other things I can do with my cash to build it into something?

Down payment on cheap rental property, pay it off with the rents and use that as collateral for buying more.

It sounds like she was looked upon favorably because she helped people out and did work for them and also was pleasant to be around.

Do you do any of these things for your family? If not, then you would be perceived as a loser.
