we all want to have a good job that gives good salary. but how are going to spend our salary? for needs or for wants? you know what, i wasted my childhood and my teenage life in working for me and my family. when i started to work, i knew a lot of people that works just because they want their salary to be spent on luxuries and don't care about their needs. i felt sad about that because some of them had their family broken because of their attitudes. i have a lot of regrets about me working at a young age but i felt happy because i helped my family. what is your opinion about this?

So you started working at a young age to help support your family while your friends worked and spent their income on stuff they wanted.... I think that is what you mean. Anyway, you are a really good person for helping your family out. Your friends are obviously selfish. By working and helping your family out, it looks as though you helped to keep your family together, so think of it as an investment in your future.

yes. i even spent my savings just to finance their needs. think of this, i am the youngest in the family, yet i am the one who works for them.

You are truly a selfless person. Remember karma, good will come back to you ten fold!

I think that if you feel good about your decision to work at a young age because you helped your family that is a good thing. I guess you should always do things that make you feel good. At the same time I can imagine regretting it, because you had a part of your teenage years taken away,and they are years that you can not get back.

yes, i regret many of it because i have wasted many of my years working for my family and not having time for myself. i always think of it and what i keep in mind is that they can not say anything bad about me. and that i have done my part for them
