>Just found out my parents are in $23,000 of credit card debt

How does this happen? How are they not constantly doing everything possible to get pay this off? I used to think for the longest time that they were financially responsible, that I could count on them, but between this and finding out my dad might owe upwards of $100k in unpaid taxes, AND that we've missed our home payment for the past few months, I'm beginning to think it's just over.

That's it. My life is done. I was born to lazy debt slaves and I now have to incur their losses. I will never have anything, no wife, no home, no stable job, no nothing. So what the fuck do I do? My dad doesn't even work anymore, my mom won't stop spending like a retard, and here I am, stuck with their mistakes. Should I just rope and save myself the headache?

How do you figure? You don't inherit debt. Your entire inheritance might be eaten up by partially paying it off but that's it. You won't actually inherit debt yourself.

Kek. They are hoping it just goes away. That they can just ride the debt train til the very end and theres nothing left, and they lose everything because fuck it, they aint got much time left anyways. These are the people that get sent to state run nursing homes where niggers forget to feed them or leave them festering in their own piss and shit all day while they beg for death to take them.

Fuck em. They are a sinking ship. Youre going to have to swim for your life, its gonna be hard without support or even land in sight to swim towards, but its your only choice. Keep on swimming dude. Wish i had actual useful advice and not just words of encouragement but sadly i dont. Best of luck all the same.

just keep your own profits, find a small place somewhere, build a second shack on your property and have your parents life there rent-free. then get a girlfriend. or a ukrainian mail order war bride. or an ai girlfriend it doesnt matter. actually no probably the ukrainian war bride might be a bad idea.

they played the game and lost. everyone loses, the game is a scam. there is an 85% turnover rate for the elite yet we all know the local and wider names of hereditary elite. do you think they "won the game"? yeah by scamming people like your folks. either go find rich scumbag friends with the iq of an icecube or find gentle and honest but gullible people. it is literally genetic, the OXTR gene extremely disproportionately controls what we mistakenly call gullibility but which is actualy precisely what you want for a stable society with self-maintaining traditions.

op be honest, are you a bad person? i somehow doubt so. just go find cheap land and live on it, of course your parents will whine, just ignore their whining like i do and then everyone eventually settles and thrives.

um, check the weather and ticks and the like before moving anywhere though, sometimes cheap land is cheap for good reason.

if you have friends then collectively save, seriously it is only like $20k per family that you really need, you'll be poor but you'll be happy. plus if you dont have a gf then instead focus on getting your friends some gfs, you probably don't really care that much remaining celibate for life, perhaps it is your vocation.

yes this is depressing but think of it like this. you have a sedan from the 1990s lets say. want a ferrarri? hah. your parents probably did. no. what didn't they leave you? a back-hoe. what can your children inherit? a back-hoe. what will never let you down, hurt you or desert u? derrarri gonna be repossessed. back-hoe with u 4 life! ferrari got sleek curves. back-hoe can did, can lift. can ferrari dig? no. ferrari cannot dig.

>I now have to incur their losses.
Assuming you're in the US, you won't inherit your parents' unpaid debts. (If you're a cosigner on a loan, their debt is your debt. But that doesn't seem to be the case.) So don't worry about that. It makes sense to worry that you won't inherit any assets. That's unfortunate, but it was never your money anyway.
>I will never have anything, no wife, no home, no stable job, no nothing.
Why not? This is a weird conclusion. Perhaps you'll feel obligated to financially support your parents in their old age. That may reduce your personal comfort but it doesn't mean you can never have a career or wife.

Since your parents are so irresponsible with money, giving them money is a bad idea. It won't help them. First you'd need to change their financial thinking and behavior, which may be impossible.
