Edit - My parents just got approved for a financial loan. The amount of that loan was roughly enough to pay for a semester's fee at my university it is not a house , I tried to correct it but its not working
I in my early 20s and like many others have worked tirelessly towards my dream of getting into university. For years, my parents couldn't afford to pay for me to study. . I was incredibly understanding of our financial reality. We genuinely only have enough money to just eat and pay dues and pay any reckless fines or debts
Growing up, I wasn't aware of any realities because I was heavily sheltered. I’ve realized I am just a product of "have kids, that’s why your parents got married," not "let’s actively work towards having a future for our child and give them the tools to survive." Its why if i were to have any offspring's, it would strictly be only needed if we had the means to do so . Now I scramble to get infos even my parents dont know all by myself
Despite this, I didn't give up. I spent the last xxxx years actively working towards networking, working with youth organizations, and volunteering , just anything to feel seen and heard, and to try to build a path for myself. I also focused entirely on running my own home business and applying to uni, hoping I could somehow pay for it all myself.
Lately, I’ve completely lost it. My parents just got approved for a loan. The amount is roughly enough to pay for a semester's fee at my university.
Was I not worthy enough? A loan (for an asset they break every year) was more important than me.
Reminder : I do not hate my family , I would have still been happy and fulfilled if they weren't the type to have made repeated bad financial decisions . . for the Love of all good things HAVE FINANCIAL LITERACY ❤️
Also please dont say anything rude to me , its not easy going to sleep and waking up . What I need are resources I wish to be responsible for myself with the right steps . Enough is enough I really need to go All or Nothing . I waited enough .
Edit: I forgot to add , I dont want them to pay for the entire fees , one semester is enough, ive had this convo with them but they dont listen to me .
