My oldest sister and her husband (who are almost 30) have good jobs with good salaries and have two wonderful children. The is problem is: they spend money like it grows every morning in their bushes outside.

They are always spending far beyond their means and they are always begging for money from my parents. My parents always give it to them too. My parents just recently gave them their entire savings too!

My second oldest sister also has a bachelor's degree and could get a job any second! Instead, she lives with my parents and gets paid to do chores around the house. She has been studying and taking random courses in college and debating between Master's programs for two years! She's been paying for school and everything else through credit cards too!

Meanwhile, myself and my younger brother are in our early twenties. Both of us realized that getting a bachelors was not an option for us. We need jobs because our parents can't make ends meet supporting us. My brother quit his degree and is in certificate training program. I also quit my bachelors and I am in a similar certificate program. In a few months we are both gone and on our own. I and my fiance are also getting married and finishing school while being married and working.

I am worried and furious because my older siblings just don't seem to get it. I am furious because I feel like they are draining my parents dry. My oldest sister and her husband are both irresponsible and selfish and I fear a divorce looming. I fear my niece and nephew's childhood being ruined as a result. I fear my second oldest sister never quitting school and living with my parents for another five years. I also fear her having to file bankruptcy! I especially fear that my parents will never be able to save for retirement.

To be very honest, I find it shameful for my sisters to act this way! I don't mind supporting my parents down the road, but I do mind them being taken advantage of! I can't do anything about it either because my parents willingly enable the behaviors! They are doing more harm than good!

My younger brother and I have not asked for money since we were teenagers. However, our parents would give us money that they don't have if we asked for it! I find that very upsetting and concerning! I'm also downright mad about the whole thing!
