Only Child Syndrome

Wealth Insecurity

With my parents wanting to build a house they dreamed of at the expense of their only daughter's plans in life, I found myself feeling insecure about money lately.

I thought I already gave it my all when I paid for 70% of the car's loan. I thought it was already enough I maxxed out my card for the materials, but still, whenever there's a need for extra funds, my wallet is always the first thing to look into.

I have dreams of my own, and places I want to be, and so I write ever so frequently, yet here I am, guilt-tripped into assisting to pay for my parents' house I'm not going to live in, not by my parents, but by a tiny voice in my head saying I'd be an ungrateful son of a bitch if I let my parents loan money for someone else when I'm already here.

This will stop when the house gets build. I don't have any extra funds I can give without giving up the life I want to live.

May I not find myself in a situation where I'd ask my future child to fund my future for me.
