I’m not making enough
Im 24. Have a boyfriend. No kids. Living with my family—family living with me (if that makes sense, since I’m renting and my whole family of 7 is staying with me). I’m making more than enough money for myself, but not for my family.
Im paying for all the bills, groceries for myself, and groceries for them.
Now im trying to help them so they’re able to support themselves too, we were able to open a business for my parents but unfortunately, it’s all loss, no profit. So all the expenses I have to pay as well — aside from everything that Im already paying. It’s like another headache.
I can’t move out, because if I do, then ill pay for 2 separate apartments. And pay double the bills. I may afford if I’ll have a roommate but, no friends available and I don’t want to live with a stranger again.
My boyfriend is jobless. Im not moving in with him because he’s living with his parents too.
I don’t know, my parents cant provide for themselves. Ive no choice but to understand. My bf, can’t provide for himself as well. It’s like im stuck to just suck it all up. Im not making enough. I thought I am/would…
Advice?
