Im 15, and I feel that all my family thinks about me is that all I care about is money. I have business running in my blood so I'm wired like that the things I'm interested in are all things, but I still do a lot for other people. I'm starting a business soon and one thing I talk about is the money. I still give %10 percent every month. There a bible verse talking about doing everything in private
[h=3]Matthew 6:1-4 ESV / 206 helpful votes[/h]“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
But if I don't show my family that I am generous, then they will keep thinking i'm greedy. I really don't care about money that much. I am a strong believer in efficiency, so i a lot of the times brainstorm ways I can make an extra buck doing it as quickly and efficiently everytime. But in my fathers eyes he see's it as "I'm lazy and I want money without doing any work". I'm a hard worker and they see that but I don't know how I can show them that I don't care about money as much as they think I do.
