being the youngest

im the youngest in my family and i just need to get this off my chest so i thought this was the best place. being the youngest for me means i realize that my parents want to retire (my dad is already partially retired) which means i dont/wont get the same financial support as my sisters. like for example my parents used to get my sister and new pair of shoes the start of every school year, like a vans or a converse or a fila, a shoe to wear to class everyday that just gets worn out. but by the time i was a junior in college i had to by them myself bc i didnt wanna be a financial burden on them. i feel bad asking for the same things they give/gave my sister bc ik they want to save money more so they can both fully retire. i work hard to pay for my own things that got paid for by my parents for sisters if that makes sense. like they pay for both my sisters student loans but not mine despite the fact mine are the cheapest. i’m asked to and expected to pay for more things then either of them ever did because they are making less money with my dad partially retired. i also lost both my eye and dental insurance with no warning bc they didn’t tell me. i just feel like no one talks about this when talking about bow hard it is to be the youngest sibling. sorry if this comes off in a weird way i just needed to say it.
