Are you a breadwinner by choice? Other cultures night find this absurd but in many cultures, strong family ties makes breadwinners out of unmarried siblings.

Me I am a bread winner... I believe that each person have the responsibility with their family until there are not settle down m, its a way of pay back to all the hardship our parents have exerted for us. Let do something to make our family in good stand.

My father gets his pension and I am also employed. So we have two breadwinners in our family.

Out of 10 siblings I'm the only one left single so i'm the one who look after my parents & their needs.

If your parents can't make it and your elder brothers and sisters have families...and you are single, you prpbably have to do it. That's my case. Sometimes I see my gray hair becoming more in number and I blame all the stress I got from thinking about how to find dough for tuition, allowance, rent, etc...confused whether we work to live or live to work...are they different? hahaha i am just a little lucky that I got a not so bad work being a freelancer...no boss, no overtime, no dresscodes, little traffic, no income tax (it pains really when you are shortchanged)
