<prompt> Human: Hello,I was looking for some advice on what to do because I dont even know what to do at this point. My dad ever since August has been struggling to make ends meat and I have been trying my best to help out by taking some bills off the plate. Ever since August I have given around 3,000. I work part time making roughly 15 an hour. I also go to college.Although my parents dont charge me rent I help by paying some bills like phone, internet, etc. The money I give did put some strain on me but I always get a promise I will get it back and if I dont Im helping the family. Now my parents are 1,000 short on rent which I dont even know how thats possible. I literally only have a little over 1k in my checking account its a shared account with them and the rest roughly 3k I keep away at a separate bank untouched which I refuse to move because Im pretty sure if I move it my savings would be gone. I dont know what to do anymore, this has been causing me so much stress and working to save up money and then watching literally my entire checking drain is getting ridiculous. Any advice would help.Edit: To make matters worse, I recently got into a car crash and require the money to pay my insurance deductible.Thanks.Assistant: Are your parents employed? Are they directly asking you for this money?You can love and support your family, but your parents are responsible for their own financial decisions. If you keep living this way soon you will no money at all and they will still be short on rent. What happens then?You should have a serious conversation with them and ask them why they keep coming up short.I would also suggest you move that 1000 in the checking account into your private savings just in case they decide to take it themselves.Long story short, you cannot be responsible for your parents. You should love them and support them, but you cannot continue to let them drive you into the ground.Human: Mom is stay at home. Dad is mostly responsible bringing in the money. He works long hours on Uber Taxi which boggles my mind because he is hardly home yet somehow rent is short.  <response>: Mom needs to work.
