Struggling Financially - How can I go about this
Salam everyone,
I want some advice financially, I [23F] have been struggling financially for the longest time. I am the provider for a family of 4 including my mother and 3 younger siblings who are still below the age of 16. Now, my father abandoned us and he blocked me after I asked him to help me with the finances. My mom has a disability which makes her unable to walk for a long period of time.
I recently lost my job and I am scared to tell my mom, and don’t wanna worry my siblings. It’s a minimum paying job, I am currently a pre medical student hoping to save a bit of money before I start medical school as well.
I feel very stressed and thinking about money constantly due to my circumstances, seeing how my cousins live at 23 is different than how I am living. But, I am doing it for my siblings and mother but I am drowning. All I have left in my account is 77 dollars and I have been taking out loans for university. I don’t have a car, I do take public transportation
I am not here for sympathy, I just want a realistic path on what to do. What’s the most strategic way to go about this, also if you have time to look at my resume or help me build connections that would mean the world to me honestly. Also trying to learn about investing, and hoping to give my family a better life essentially and I know my situation is hard but that’s what Allah SWT wrote for me, so I have to just work harder.
Again not asking for any charity!!!
