I think people should ask family members for advice on big issues. Family members usually have your best interests at heart and know you very well. They can give practical advice based on their experiences. Plus, family members are generally more reliable and trustworthy. They also offer a long-term perspective on your life, which can be very helpful.

On the other hand, friends can be great for advice too. They might offer a different perspective and can be more objective since they are less emotionally involved. Friends might have gone through similar experiences and can provide support and encouragement. They are also often more up-to-date with current trends and solutions, which can be very useful.

It really depends on the nature of the issue. For personal or family-related problems, family members might be better because they understand the context. But for social or career-related issues, friends might be more helpful as they can offer a different perspective. Sometimes, it's best to ask both family and friends to get a balanced view.
