I was born in a "large" family and have 2 other younger siblings at home. Being the eldest, I was always the one who kena all the arrow. Now, first I should clarify that I do not hate my parents but it's not like I'm very close with them either. Being born in the sandwich generation, I didn't get all the financial support / adoration from parents nor do I expect them to do so when I'm young; they were busy spending the money on religious things and their personal vices than on us. I grew up being prudent and saving my salary for future retirement needs / children. My parents have no insurance and recently both of them were diagnosed with high blood pressure during one of those community events. Although my mum say she won't burden us by going to the hospital, when she actually does go, we (the children) will probably be involved in the financial matters.
So is it accurate to say all my hard earned savings will go to waste saving my parents? Are there alternatives to just let them "go" since their time come?
My apologies for creating this account and posting this thread at such a late timing as I just went back to my (rented) apartment after a long night with parents and siblings arguing on the path ahead.
