My parents are highly educated, so why is my family still living such a miserable life? 😩

I’m 30, living back in my childhood home in Seattle, watching my highly educated parents struggle to pay bills. My dad’s PhD sits on the wall while he’s been jobless for years, and my mom’s medical research job barely covers the mortgage. I just dropped $10k on their much-needed house repairs—so much for my own down payment dreams. Every conversation turns into a blame game: Dad thinks Mom spends too much, Mom says Dad’s not trying hard enough. Meanwhile, I’m stuck in the middle, feeling guilty for wanting my own life. I’m angry, exhausted, and honestly, I don’t know if I should keep sacrificing or just run. Anyone else stuck in this endless family finance tug-of-war? How do you draw the line between helping and losing yourself? 😤💸 #FamilyFinance #AdultChildren #FinancialStress #RomanticRelationships
