What 2 do if your parents are poorfags with poor financial decision-making?
>Keep telling me about the newest MLM and cryptocurrency and all this shit
>They keep telling me I should drop my Accounting major and just join Amway because they heard some people are making 6-figures doing it
>Keep nagging me about getting a job and moving out and doing chores which further lowers my testosterone via cortisol
>Are voting for Bernie because he'll give them free things
>Keep telling me liberal things they heard on bernie sanders discussion forums
>Keep telling me how capitalism is evil and horrible and that there's a conspiracy to make us poor
>Keep telling me how world war 3will start soon and so money will become useless anyway
>Can't get a job because of their shit since they keep making retarded rules
Fuck man I know I'm living under their roof but why do they have to be like this? I'm so jeally of financially literate parents.
What do I do? I'm considering just taking what money I have and moving by myself to le big city and starting a new life but I have no real job and no gf.
How do you guys deal with your poorfag family?
I'm not here too often but even I have seen this before so I'll assume it's a regular thing.
Been there. Parents were quite wealthy until I was about 6 years old and they got divorced which cost my dad his job for certain reasons and my mom is overly religious claiming god would provide so she refused to get a job.
Both of them filed bankruptcy by the time I was 7 and we lived in section 8 housing until I finally moved out at 18.
There's really nothing you can do, they have to make that decision on their own. I've tried multiple times to help my parents with financial sense, even signing my mom up as a trusted user on one of my credit cards so she could build her credit back up. I think it's just a mentality overall.

Leave them. Burn the bridge down and don't come back to them. Start your own life. ask yourself, in 5 years from now, are you going to continue bitching about them, or are you going to have already accepted this as part of you and started you're own life doing what you desire to do.

>How do you guys deal with your poorfag family?
Ignore them for the most part.
>>1373622
I know your pain, man.
Mine had the money but they threw it away because of their stupid mentality and awful bussiness decisions.
There were days where we wouldn't literally eat. Just take a neurotic father with a terrible management of credit cards and a mother who is more commie than the former and buys shit to help "the poor" that we don't fucking need. Oh, and gets in debt with them.

I want to, anon. But I feel bad abandoning my family.
Even though they're retards and have done a lot to hold me back(whether intentionally or not im not sure) I still love them...

It definitely is.
I've tried explaining basic personal finance principles to my mom or my dad, it just doesn't click. I keep explaining and explaining, it's as if they're not listening to me because they same something that I've just spent time retorting.

How did you deal with it?
they browse /biz/ too?

Mate, not to be a dick but if you're family cared about you, you wouldn't be in this situation. you would have been raised properly. But that's ok man, you have a perspective that most people don't have. Save up some money, sell all your belongings and go somewhere far away from them. Start your own legacy. Start your own dream. Your parents are dragging you.

As a former I.V. drug user, this picture makes me cringe.
The only story with a happy ending I've heard for people with poorfag families is:
>Mom and dad i love you a lot but I'm moving to far away place to persue my dreams
Then they build their own life there, periodically send money home, and it seems like a lot of money too because their parents are poor. Now their parents are proud of them but far away enough to not fuck their life up.
Also fyi crypto coins aren't a real investment.

>I probably will desu. but I kind of want to stay in touch with them, they're my fAm afterall...
Mate, family means nothing. We are just creatures in this planet. You don't owe anything to "family" just as how all other creatures in the animal world leave their "family" to pursue their own shit.
You're in this world to either work for somebody , or have people work for you.
>Blood ties
What I've always found amusing about people hyping up the importance of FAAAAAMIIILLYYY is that they talk about blood relationships.
>The blood of the covenant is stronger than the water of the womb.
Anytime they mention blood, they are using an abbreviation of this phrase, and mean the exact opposite of the complete original phrase. Family are just friends society obligates you to put up with. Maybe your family are your best friends, but it's fucking stupid to say that they are above your friends.
>tfw gambling addicted mom
>says she won't go anymore after losing 5k+ every time she goes for 6 or 7 years now
>she just went into debt from going to the casino a few weeks ago

>asks me if she should go gamble a little since she's already in debt and might as well try to win to pay off her gambling debt

I don't understand why people think they can make money vs the house gambling.
Further, I don't understand why after repeated failure to do so they continue to believe they can beat the house.
