I derive all my happiness and personal satisfaction from family. And I& #39;m not even a family man. It& #39;s just - contributing to family yields in vivid, tangible forms.

Give your sibling a laptop and in a few years they& #39;re a brilliant software engineer.

Do that over and over.

I personally believe everyone - especially firstborn kids - should get to a point in life where they *enjoy* the Black Tax.

Takes a while. I used to be resentful of how lean my coins were because I had to support family.

My mindset has changed over the years.

Way I see it, money I spend on myself goes into stupid food and stupid clothes and stupid bills.

Money I send home goes into paying school fees for siblings, buying their books, supporting my parents& #39; business.

The utility is much higher on their end.

Of course you have to do it in such a way that it doesn& #39;t strain you at all, which is why I started tracking my expenses in a spreadsheet. Money I sent home is now a predictable expense for the most part and I factor it into my own operational costs.
