Balancing Family Expectations and Financial Independence

Growing up, my parents always emphasized the importance of supporting family, and I truly value that lesson. But now that I’m working full-time, they expect me to hand over my entire paycheck every month. I understand wanting to help out, but I also want to save for my own future and learn to manage my finances. It’s tough to navigate the guilt and pressure, especially when I know my parents sacrificed so much for me. I’m trying to find a balance between honoring my family and building my own independence. Has anyone else faced this kind of situation? How did you handle it?
