> I don't actually even earn that much more money than they do but I'm just more sensible about spending/ I have a plan for saving and I stick to it, but I still feel like this

What? How stupid are they with money? Don't feel guilty for having money to buy what you want just because they can't budget worth shit. I still live with my parents, but pay rent and even though my step dad has access to twice my yearly income because he owns farmland, he still gets on my case if I'm even a day late paying rent because 'he's poor and can't work'. It's bullshit, he doesn't budget and ends up spending hundreds of dollars on junk food and knickknacks but I'm the heartless bitch when I won't pay more in rent. Don't loan them money anymore and instead try to teach them your budgeting skills

CGL, I'm so bummed. I worked really hard on my cosplays for AZ and was finally going to cosplay with my best friend who also was the person to get me into cosplay.

>mfw I had a sibling who did something similar. He robbed the family of several items and cash for drug money, but the worst was the wedding rings of my grandmother's deceased husbands. She kept them in her jewelry box under her bed.
