He Told His Father About How His Brother Didn’t Contribute A Dime On Their Business Trip To Japan, And He Wound Up Getting His Brother Cut Out Of The Family Business
This 23-year-old man, his older brother, Sam, 26, and their father all started a business together not too long ago.
As a part of opening up the business, the three of them were going to travel to Japan to set everything up.
While organizing the trip, they came to the conclusion that he would arrive in Japan three weeks sooner than Sam.
“He had wanted to go to a concert with his friends. So, I went, and with my own money, and set up everything for us. Getting a car, apartment, business fees,” he said.
Three weeks passed, and Sam got to Japan.
In the beginning, everything was going well. When they discussed how they would split bills and living expenses, Sam assured him that he would pay him back soon.
“Boy, was I stupid to believe that. After about a month of us being in Japan together, the expenses really started to pile up, and I was running low on the cash I came with,” he explained.
Since Sam hadn’t yet paid for his share of the expenses related to their vehicle, their business, and their apartment, he asked Sam if he could pay up.
In response, Sam asked him why he should be paying for any of these expenses when none of them had been his choices in the first place. He continued, claiming that he only came to Japan to see if all of this would be beneficial.

The argument escalated, and he said to Sam that he was the one who’d been paying for everything throughout their time in Japan so far. He’s been paying the highway tolls, and for parking around the city they were staying in. He also bought their groceries and paid for doing laundry at the laundromat.
After that, Sam said that none of that was his problem.
For the rest of the trip, they didn’t speak much, and he didn’t even know how to handle the situation. They finished setting up their business and then flew back home.
He was able to calm down and process everything once he was home. Even though he wasn’t as heated anymore as he’d been in Japan, he was obviously still frustrated with Sam’s behavior. As time went on, he felt like he had put everything behind him.
“Until I saw that he got our dad to put his insurance on his car. I lost it. I told my dad everything that happened in Japan and how he wouldn’t spend a dime on anything. My dad obviously was upset and told me we didn’t need him and decided to cut him off,” he shared.
Sam was so upset about being cut out of the family business, telling them that they didn’t care about him. He added that he’s not to blame for not having a lot of money.
So, he and his father moved forward with starting their business without Sam. In his view, this was the best decision from a financial standpoint because he couldn’t understand how Sam would be able to contribute to running a business when he’s so financially irresponsible on his own.
Do you think he did the right thing by telling his father about the business trip in Japan, leading to Sam being cut out of the family business?
