<prompt> Human: Ill try to be as succinct as possible.My father is attorney and isnt able to work until December for reasons I wont get into. The point is he has no stable income right now and he and my mom dont appear to have much in savings. My parents supported me through undergrad for which Im very grateful. In grad school however, I got 2 jobs, some loans and have pretty much supported myself. All was going well until the job loss hit this summer. Suddenly my parents have to worry about supporting themselves and my brother who is still in undergrad with hardly any money coming in. Last time I was home about a month ago they told me what was up. They insisted that they want my brother and I to stay in school, but they warned me that they know I have some money and they might need my help. In the past month Ive given various members of my family around 500 for various expenses. 150 for groceries for my brother, another 100 to get my brothers car after he got it towed, 50 for a cell phone bill and today my dad asked me for 200 to pay his electric bill. I have had to dip into my savings to help them with these expenses which really bothers me.I have a couple thousand in my account a combination of savings and a loan refund and since my dad still has access to my account he can easily see my funds, and in his current financial state, I feel like all he sees is dollar signs. Whenever he, my mother or my brother are strapped for cash they know I have the money and give me their puppy dog eyes, and I always say yes. I dont think they understand that I need that money to last for several more months, for things like rent, books, bills and car repairs as I have a very old car, in addition to the income I bring in at my 2 jobs. Ive worked out a budget and I need every bit of that money just to stay afloat.Im so conflicted. I love my family and want to help them, and I feel indebted to my parents for all theyve done for me. But I cant keep supporting them the way I have- its just not financially possible for me. Im also determined not to make the same financial mistakes they have made and I feel like theyre dragging me into the same cycle. How can I put my foot down, or am I simply being selfish?EDIT: To avoid making my parents look like the total bad guys, my dad has said that he would pay back the 200 he just borrowed from me though he didnt say when and he has offered to help me pay off my student loans for a year or two after I graduate, which of course is contingent upon him being able to get his law practice back to where it was.  <response>: Step 1: move your money into your own personal private accountStep 2: learn how to say no, you worked hard for that money and, like you said, you need it for rent and other upcoming expenses or youll end up in the same situation they are in.
