Life is falling apart…
When I first landed landed this job during Covid, I thought it was my golden opportunity. Coming from an immigrant background and being the eldest, this was our way out. Ever since, I’ve supported my family of 6 in our small apartment in the Bronx. While I will always be grateful for the opportunities my parents have gave me - I am now 24, virtually have no savings, 45 lbs heavier and have no social life outside of this job. On top, my siblings continue to use me as their bank through my parents and practically party throughout the night while I have to wake up at 7:30am for my commute. I love my family and understand the responsibilities I have, mentally I couldn’t be worse. Recruiting remains an option but that in itself is draining and recently I have started to lose the drive that got me this career. Any advice?
Dump the leeches sucking you dry, get money, fuck bitches
This is the way
Chin up bro, you've made it much too far to take your foot of the gas now. It sounds like supporting your family is very important to you, but boundaries have to be drawn if they're actively making your life more difficult. My humble recommendations would be 1) have a talk with your parents to rein in your siblings; they need to focus on school/work or whatever so that they can be successful too, oh and let you get some goddamn sleep, and 2) focus more of your energy and free time on your health, both mental and physical. If you can grind it out a little more and go A2A, you should have the cashflow to get your own place which should help your life immensely in terms of cutting down the commute and getting some more peace and quiet.
Move out (I can't tell if you still live at home), put them on a budget.
You see it all the time with parents cutting their kids off.
Don't feel bad about it, you're going to work yourself to death financing some ungrateful assholes.
Once you handle that side of the house, then you can work on your health. You'll have a much clearer mind and be able to focus on you.
You love your parents but can’t see they are losers.
Only a loser would have 4 kids when they are broke.
Only a loser would take advantage of their child’s money.
Only a loser would allow their children to use their other child.
You’ve paid the losers back enough, time to grow a spine chubbs.
