My younger brother is about to graduate but he hasn’t paid his school fees from previous semesters till now because my parents cannot afford it and if they had made better financial decisions like saving they would have been able to. From my Year 1-3 I’ve been struggling on my own as they contribute little to nothing in my education. Now the problem is if my brother doesn’t pay his fees before Friday he will have to carry over. I have the exact amount he needs but that is all my savings as I’m looking forward to getting a laptop and learning a digital skill. I’m the first daughter and I’ve had to deal with responsibilities older than my age but this one is very overwhelming. I don’t want my brother to drop out because I can afford it but it’s my parent’s responsibility and at the same time I need this money. I’m tired of always being in survival mode. I honestly don’t know what to do 💔. I feel like I’m being selfish for wanting to use the money to start up something for myself while my brother needs it
