Improving is looked at negatively by part of my family as though making more money and controlling your finances is a sign up being uppity and snobbish. And now, that portion of my family still thinks I'm a snob because I focus on my finances or when I don't spend the money to fly my family home once a year to see them (when they can't afford to fly out to see you). For me, leaving the environment was essential to be able to improve my life but I do miss the contact and social support of my family.
