Been first born and battling responsibility in this economy

[Bitcoin Smith]

One medical emergency can wipe our life savings, that is not much different in my country too, even though I got health insurance that comes with lot of limitations and insurance companies always com up with excuses not to pay the entire bill so at best if they are allowing the user to pay only 20-30% of the total bill then we were lucky. 

Now coming to the topic, it is okay to start back again, the good thing is you are willing to start back where most people will be failed so just repeat what you did in 2022 or before that, your success was delayed not stopped.

It feels good to be back after so many life draining hardship of life, I have been battling some life difficulty, my mother sicked for a whole year and as the first born of my family I have to take care of my siblings too, it was too much for me, the little BTC I managed to safe in 2022 have all been used to settle bills and buy drugs for my mom.

Sorry bro, this is part of the challenges of life. Sometimes it comes like a heavy load but I glad you overcome. It's a new year with a new beginning for you. Don't just relent and keep doing good, you will definitely be rewarded.

What have I missed? Where should I start from now?

Nothing much bro. All I will just tell you is to re-visit the rules of the forum as you may have forgotten some and more may have been added within the time you are absent here. After this, continue with your normal stuff on the forum. I believe with hardwork you will make your savings back in no time. Don't be discourage with the present price of Bitcoin. Alittle buy today and tomorrow can make back your big saving later.

You're not alone, my friend. Many people are in the same situation, including me. The sandwich generation has to provide for the upper generation, meaning their parents. The lower generation, meaning their children. Their generation, meaning their siblings. The support is not only financial but also emotional and at times it does get really exhausting. But do we have a choice? When life leaves us with no options, we have to let go of our investments, of our future.

Using your savings to pay for your mother's healthcare isn't a mistake; it's a form of sacrifice and love that can't be measured in money.

Maybe one thing to be grateful for is that you're not married because this gives you some space to heal. If you have a partner and kids then the scenario changes-it becomes much more complicated, the pressures are doubled and the options in life become fewer. For now, just focus on rebuilding from scratch: get yourself stabilized, make yourself strong, and slowly think up a new plan within your means.

​Well as the first born of your parents definitely the responsibility is on you but then to me it's easy to say all the children are included even if they can't help financially they have to still put in effect to support physically or emotionally in times of need. So yeah bro to me you didn't lose your BTC you just sacrificed it for your mom's health and for the future of your siblings and unfortunately the good news is that your mom is fine and what you have to know is this no amount of money can bring back the dead so you should be grateful, because as long as you are alive you can always rebuild. Bitcoin isn't running bro. There is still hope you just have to put in effort and consistency as you did before ...


over all I just hope you don't give up on your accumulation journey. I will advise you start small and indeed one day you will unfortunately look back at all of this and smile. That's just life there is always bad times and good times...

Everyone has got somewhere to start with and even it's the smallest that they can do, it's best to have that start than having nothing and thinking of starting big. And first born has that heavy shoulders that all knows they're mostly the reliable people in a family after the parents. And looking back when you're on the right age thinking of all of those past experiences will definitely make you smile that you're able to overcome all of it. The decisions and hardships that you have been through will help you hone your future.

If you are from Africa and you happen to be first born of a family where there is nothing like richy rich there is a problem, I thought I could escape this mess by starting to invest but I lost everything to responsibilities.

Bitcoin investment is a completely personal matter. Overinvestment can be stressful. If someone is new and has only three weeks of backup funds, it is better not to make risky investments right away. Instead, first create a money management habit or system. And practice investing step by step. How dependent you are on your family or how dependent your family is on you affects your investments, so it is important to plan your financial system. You need to be able to manage your cash flow for at least three to six months or 12 to 18 months. This creates a clear idea of future expenses and investments. Most adults should have basic financial knowledge. Mistakes can happen, but there is an opportunity to learn from mistakes and limit your limitations. In addition to studying or working, it is also important to spend some time a week learning and following financial matters. Learning regularly and planning based on your own experience and moving forward step by step based on your financial situation and future plans is the safe and sustainable way.

Whatever our status as children, in my opinion, we must be able to be independent or help the family, it is a natural law where we must be devoted to our parents, because I believe that not all firstborn children have to bear the burden of the family but sometimes there are also middle or youngest children who have to bear the burden of the family.

 And indeed we should not be fixated on comparing ourselves with others who are more secure in life, it will not make things better but sometimes even make us pessimistic.

It is not natural that the eldest of the family should carry out all the responsibilities but one small or elder they have the ability to run the household they should definitely carry out this responsibility.And carrying out the responsibilities also creates autonomy. I think that since the expenses are high everyone should help in carrying out the responsibilities of the house so that no one person is burdened too much. Nowadays this is a common thing that we compare ourselves with people who are better than us. It does not change our circumstances but we can improve our lives by working hard.

Usually these things do happen on middle class but this is that most common into those on the poverty line or families which are that included into these areas but of course it doesnt mean that it will be only that on this part. There are still those who are on middle class that turned out to be already on this situation and being a breadwinner is never been that easy because the burden of responsibilities are at on your shoulders. Being first born isnt automatically you would be having this kind of fate. Of course it will be that still depending on the status of your family because there are those who are born with golden or silver spoon already on which they wont be having those problems but rather having already that good life ahead. For those who are born into those family which are on that living on the middle or poverty line then first born would most likely having ending up with this kind of fate.

Although this kind of situation isnt something that we can say we are belittling those people but rather we are proud considering on the challenges that they are facing on which it do make them as a stronger person when it comes to challenges in life on which this is something that you can be proud of.

Living in a different country, especially on a different continent, will give you a different path in life.
I'm fortunate enough, at least, that Indonesia has health insurance for the public. It's true that it involves a difficult process, but at least many hospitals, even private ones, collaborate with government programs to guarantee public health services as long as they have an ID card.
In my country, many people may also experience the same situation, such as having to support a family as a form of responsibility, especially if it's the eldest child or a daughter. That's why I've seen daughters take on more responsibility for the family, even though they're already eaning a salary and still doing housework.
In my opinion, you're still better off because you still have assets you can sell during difficult times.
You can still reinvest. Bitcoin is indeed more expensive than in 2020, but the price is still predicted to be higher next year. However, don't force yourself. It's better to have savings first for an emergency fund than to buy Bitcoin immediately and then have to sell it at a loss due to an emergency.
