My mother thought I was jobless because I work from home, so I let her believe I earn Naira

Two years ago, my US startup gave me that ultimatum. Relocate to San Francisco or lose the job. I looked at my mother's medical file on the table, the one from LUTH, and I knew I wasn't going anywhere. So I told them no. They kept me on remote, but the salary conversation changed. I started sending her 20% of my USD pay every month, but I told her it was Naira. She thinks I earn ₦350k a month. She prays for me every night, thanking God that her son has a small job that allows him to help at home. She doesn't know it's closer to $2,500. I let her believe it because if she knew, she would start worrying about my rent in VI, my data bills, my savings. She would start asking if I'm eating well. This way, she sleeps well. I ran the calculation once. Peace of mind for her is worth every dollar I lie about.
