<prompt> Human: Hi rpersonalfinance -Ive not posted here before so please bear with me. Throwaway account for reasons.Some background about me - Im 22 and I do not have a degree. I have been working in the IT field as a Network Engineer for the past three years. I enjoy what I do, but Im paid quite poorly compared to others in my field. I make approximately 50-70 less than what others in the field are making. I attribute that to my young age and lack of education. Im muddling through, still living at my parents place because I cant afford to move out.Then theres my father. My parents divorced when I was quite young. I was living with him for a while, then he lost his job in 2012. We were fine for about 8 months, after which the money dried up and he still hadnt found a job. We had to sell his car, his house and put everything in storage. I moved back in with my mother who has had a very successful career and rarely has financial issues. He now lives on his boat driving for insert rideshare here when he feels like it. Its not enough money for him to live on and he has to borrow from my mother, his friends and myself frequently to keep the lights on. Im concerned about losing the stuff we have in storage as that was supposed to set me up in my first house. Its whats left of my inheritance. I should note that he is 61 years old and previously ran multi-million dollar accounts for a large IT OEM. He should have been able to find a job easily, but he is in the Retired mindset.He hangs around my mothers house when it gets too cold to stay on the boat or when he needs to drive for insert rideshare here to make some money as the boat is too far away from civilization to make it worthwhile. I just really dont know what to do at this point. Im living paycheck-to-paycheck carinsurance and other various expenses use up pretty much all of my limited income, my father has no income to speak of, and both of us are mooching off of my mother living in her house.Help?  <response>: Im concerned about losing the stuff we have in storage as that was supposed to set me up in my first house. Its whats left of my inheritance. Is the stuff in storage actually of some kind of great sentimental value? Because my vote would be to just get rid of whatever the heck is in storage and stop burning money paying storage fees to collect dust.Buy your own stuff when you have the money to do so.
