Is Wanting My Own Money Selfish? Anyway My Family Thinks So!

So here’s my life: I’m 20, stuck in a cramped apartment in Queens with my parents and little sister. My dad’s paycheck? Gone before it hits the bank—straight to debt counseling. My mom? Out of work. I’m the only one hustling, paying for groceries, rent, wifi, and even dog food for our four furballs. Last weekend, I finally took a break and crashed at my boyfriend’s place. He bought me pizza—my first real treat in months. When my mom found out, she lost it. She called me selfish and useless, even though I’m the one keeping the lights on at home! I just want to save a little for myself, but every time I try, I’m guilt-tripped for not giving more. Am I really the villain here for wanting a life of my own? How do I set boundaries without being branded the family traitor? Seriously, what would you do if you were me? 😤🍕💸 #FamilyFinance #SettingBoundaries #FinancialStruggles #YoungAdultLife #RomanticRelationships

From Tattoo Dreams to Career Confusion: My 20s in Limbo 🤔

Ever feel like everyone else has their life mapped out while you’re just stuck in a loop? That’s me. I’m 19, and after a brief obsession with becoming a tattoo artist (which fizzled out faster than my last relationship), I’m now armed with an art degree that’s about as useful as a chocolate teapot. I landed a job at a care home for disabled adults—not out of passion, but because a friend hooked me up. Two years in, and I know for sure: support work isn’t my forever gig. Now, I’m eyeing university, but my mind’s a tornado of options—marketing, business, economics, maybe even real estate. I crave financial stability, but the thought of being chained to a desk makes me cringe. I want to be my own boss, but where do I even start? If you’ve ever felt lost or stuck, let’s swap stories. Maybe we’ll figure it out together. 😅 #CareerConfusion #YoungAdultLife #FindingMyPath #JobCareer #Career
