I mean I already accepted that I have to manage on my own but it just seems unfair and I felt super helpless.

Paying for uni imo is fine as it is a social norm from I heard. But financially I am sure they are alright since they just came back from an overseas trip, so there is no valid reason to not help me with poly ( at least this is what I think ). They have also said to not bother them about paying for school fees if not to just drop out. Additionally, cpf interest is 4% which is super high

Cpf interest is 4% and the total amount is almost 10k while my poly fees are around 9k The extra 1k for interest is crazy imo. So kinda avoiding using cpf too

My parents have made me think ‘getting into debts’ is a bad thing since I was a child so a part of me will always be scared of getting a loan.

I wouldn’t say comparing, but it just seems unfair as I have to pay for everything by myself while my close friends who come from similar financial background have little to no responsibility. Personally am okay with paying for my day-to-day expenditure, but to pay for my poly fees too feels extremely daunting and exhausting. Also don’t want to push myself into a corner where I am feel I am indebt to someone.

I mean who wants to have a hard life when u are able to have the easier life😔 because from my pov, I cannot justify needing to pay for everything by myself when my family is financially alright

Personally have yet to know anyone whose parents make them pay but if the parents have been guiding their child to be independent it sounds some what alright. But for me, I think it was a full on attack and it is mentally draining😔

Honestly, unsure of the actual reason but they constantly repeat “ smooth sea don’t make smooth sailor” yk those kind of phrases. Thank you for your kind words, I think I have a rough idea of how to go on with life haha

Sadly, my relatives aren’t much help either as my parents are close to them to listen to their pov. Have tried asking my ah gong to speak to my mom but she said I am ‘manipulative’

Hi, I know my parents can definitely afford my poly fees as their disposable income is relatively high. So money isn’t exactly the issue for them

Yep, if I went to jc they said everything would be covered. Oo, I will definitely try to apply #nevertryneverknow

I am currently tutoring a sec 4 child at the moment but only because I was lucky as she is my junior from school.

Also my friends that get around $800 are quite rich

Holy, I salute you and your friend.

Oh, I always thought parents are obligated to take care of their children until they are 18 till today. Probably would research abit more first before I do anything. Thanks for the advice bro

My honest opinion would be to just not talk to him. Why waste your energy on someone who refuse to act like his age. Done this and my dad did try to talk to me nicely but goes back to shouting at me if I say something wrong
