A guy has provoked outrage on social media by stating that money now decides acceptance, even inside families.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, the individual, named as Lawrence Kitema, voiced dissatisfaction with what he saw as increased harshness towards impoverished people.
Kitema criticised how financial status has become a measure of worth, especially among family who should provide unconditional support.
“Nowadays, you need money to become a member of your own family. This world is so cruel to the poor,” he wrote.
Several social media users responded with passionate and thought-provoking comments about how money influences family connections.

Esperanza wrote: “In a world that appraises your worth by your wallet, remember that God appraises you by your soul. Poverty is a circumstance, not a character flaw…”
JP Attueyi said: “It should not be so. Some families can’t have meeting if the rich one is not available. What the rich one says is what everyone must do.”
Aditi added: “Yeah, that feeling hits hard when even family starts treating love like a paid subscription. The cruelty isn’t new, just more shameless now.”
Other users noted how financial strength frequently translates into influence, protection, and independence.
Ken wrote: “Accept it or not, but it’s a reality. Sometimes, you need money to become a family member in your family. You need money to walk away from the situations you don’t like. You need money as a weapon and defence to challenges in life.”
Praveen shared a similar view, saying: “When survival becomes expensive, love gets conditional and presence gets measured in money. The poor are not lacking character or effort, they are punished for circumstances.”
PapiSpit added humour to the discussion, writing: “Sad but funny because it’s true 😂 These days love got a cover charge and Thanksgiving feels like a shareholders meeting. Being broke turns you into a ‘distant relative’ real quick. That’s why I joke but I also get it. Money doesn’t buy love… it just buys you a seat at the table.”
The topic continues to inspire debate, with many people reflecting on how financial pressure is affecting family connections and society norms.
