My brothers (M42, M44) and I (M32) all run a church together. I was recently put in charge of the treasury. Since then, I've been working to cut excess spending, mostly by reorganizing finances to speed up stalled projects.
For example, we recently purchased an old lodge (complete with private airstrip) and I've been working to speed up repairs. The house itself is going to have space for members to live in, and I want to get it ready as fast as possible. We've had people begging for somewhere to stay for weeks now, and we've got the space, so what's the problem?
Well, the problem is that I decided to take some of my money from the choir, which is my oldest brother's pet project. Now he's going on a rampage about it, telling our other brother that I'm irresponsible and that it was a mistake to give me this responsibility. It's important to note that I've also taken funds from my own side projects! He's hardly the only person sacrificing for the repair efforts.
Because of my dedication, and because I've set aside one of the many rooms for myself, he's convinced that this is a petty vanity project. Obviously, I think he's full of shit and should shut the fuck up about it, but I'm not going to say that to his face. Anyway, AITA?
AITA for reorganizing church funds?
