[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to use the good education you got to get a higher paying job. You don’t have the luxury of working at a non profit like a trust fund kid. This has been how it is for immigrant families forever. That’s why all the children become doctors lawyers and mbas. Hate the harsh truth OP. Use your elite connections you have made and go get a high paying job.[/quote]
What bulls**** is this??
 OP has a right to work and create a life that she enjoys that she finds peaceful that she finds purposeful .
 Yes we all should help our families in the ways that we can but we do not have to carve out a life that is primarily just rescuing people who make bad financial decisions  .
At some point, we need to let our kids have their own lives and damn sure they are not obligated to completely finance the future of OTHER kids I brought into the world . Help, assistance and support are one thing, but it's not her obligation to sustain her entire family. She might as well have stayed poor.
 And by the way PP not everybody wants to be an MBA or a doctor or a lawyer there are 1 million myriad careers and job path that everybody has a right to choose for themselves .[/quote]

That’s a very American way of thinking. OP comes from an Asian immigrant background whose father has scrificed everything not for her to behave like a trust fund girl. That’s how generations of immigrants pulled themselves up by their bootstraps. OP and her brother have an obligation to their family. Simply she doesn’t have the luxury to ape her rich peers, fullstop.[/quote]
WTH !
 Everybody who works at a nonprofit I know they have a trust fund baby .
You do realize that there are people who are immigrants who scrape and work themselves out a pa you do realize that there are people who are immigrants scrape and work themselves out of poverty.  You do realize that right ?
 Foolish, ridiculous, dumb ass futile way of thinking and behaving for every generation to try and bankrupt themselves to finance the prior generation .
You provide assistance support help in the ways that you can while you are still building your future so your damn kids don't have to support you.
 You help your parents in the ways that you can teach your siblings and your relatives to make smarter financial decisions so everybody's not going into debt so everybody else and have to bail them out .
 What you're talking about is not family help or support what you're talking about is honestly a poverty mentality .   It's a ghetto a** way of thinking that is not helpful . [/quote]
