<prompt> Human: Hey everyone,Im 25 and have about 130k in student loan debt between federal and private loans. When I was in college, the FAFSA said my parents should contribute x amount, which was an amount I knew to be unreasonable for their income. Weve never been wealthy, but always have been comfortable. Id say middle to lower middle class. Im the first one in my immediate family, and one of the few in my extended families to graduate with a bachelors degree.During high school and college my parents always explained to me that they wished they could but they couldnt afford to pay for my education. I understood and respected that, however they always told me that they would help me as much as they could after I graduated with my loans.Directly after college I had trouble finding a job in my field, and honestly I was pretty depressed for a while, making enough to cover my loans and thats about it, delivering pizza.Fast forward a few years, and now I work in a career that I really enjoy, while making the minimum monthly payments on my loans a little over 1100. I live at home and dont pay rent, groceries, etc. If I were to live on my own, Id probably be paycheck to paycheck.I have an older sibling that was in college for 6 years and never finished. Over the years Ive come to understand that my parents made most of his student loan payments while also helping him to make a sizable chunk of the down payment on his home. Granted hes 10 years older so his education was significantly less than mine. They also spend a lot of money on him, his wife and his children. Its something that kind of bothers me, but I dont know if Im unreasonable in thinking like that.What Im wondering is, while Im grateful for their support and love, would it be advisable for me to ask them to help by contributing to my student loans? I dont know if its worth approaching or how to go about it. It just seems to me that despite my harder work ethic and greater success , my parents have provided much more financial support to my sibling.This has been on my mind for years, and I honestly just never wanted to frankly come out and say this. I dont want to appear ungrateful or damage the mutual respect or relationship I have with my parents, and again I appreciate everything they do.Thanks for any advice.  <response>: your living at home rent free. I might question their retirement planning and whether they can afford to keep subsidizing him, but I wouldnt ask them to help me any more than they already are.
