It's the holiday season, and family gatherings are in full swing. But what happens when a harmless conversation turns into a heated argument? That's what one Reddit user experienced when he asked his family members if they've made their first million yet. The post, which has gone viral, details the man's experience at his family gathering, where he was subjected to ridicule and condescension from his relatives. In an act of retaliation, he asked if they had made their first million yet, causing the room to fall silent. But was he in the wrong? Was he being an a**hole for bringing up the topic of money? Let's take a closer look at the post and the comments to see what the Reddit community thinks.

Man brags about making his first million, ruins family's celebration 😬💸
A man asks if he is an a**hole for ruining his family's New Year celebration after bragging about making his first million. In a typical Asian family reunion, the old people in the family love to 'check up' on their nieces and nephews. When the man's aunt began to list off all his lack of achievements, he couldn't take it anymore and decided to brag about his wealth. His dad asked him to step outside to relax as he might have just ruined everyone's New Year celebration. Was he wrong to brag in front of his family? Read on for some interesting comments and reactions.
