<prompt> Human: I just got a promotion at work and will be making 84k CANMy mom lives in government housing with my little sister 9 yo. They take the bus everywhere because they cant afford a car.My older sister 31 yo has 2 kids and just moved into a subsidized apartment. She gets enough money from welfare to survive because she gets disability checks for her epilepsy on top of the regular welfare payments. She had a car, but lost her licence because of the epilepsyMy dad lives with his new girlfriend. Hes always asking to borrow money. He works construction most of the time, but doesnt make much at all. I suspect he cant move up because he lacks proper english and has a drinking problem.As for me, I have a wife who works part time at a restaurant, no kids. Student loan of 20k.Whats the best thing I can do for my family? I dont want to just give them money every month because thatll just drag me back down into poverty, especially if I start having kids. I hate to see them struggling while I live upper middle class, but I dont know what to do.  <response>: I would make sure to pay off the student loan debt before you do anything.Gifting money like that is also a slippery slope even if theyre your family.___I would avoid giving your father money if hes just going to spend it on alcohol.___If you can help your little sister or mother in any way doesnt have to be monetary it would be great.Like taking your little sister in, since shes young and poverty is known to affect their studies.Or buying your mother a 1000 functional used car since she is taking care of a child on top of probably having to work.Another option is, your mother and little sister could move in with you. I dont know how your relationship is with your mother, but if that ends up being the case, boundaries and rules need to be established before moving in to help prevent unecessary conflict.___Just remember, sometimes people need a little help. Consider their personalities and if they will actually put your help to good use and not just become dependent on you excluding your little sister.
