| 0:00.0 | My entitled parents guilt trip me into buying a house with them because they feel it's my obligation to pay them back and contribute to their retirement. |
| 0:08.6 | But my experience with them has been nothing but toxic as they constantly put me down and use me for my money and my time. |
| 0:15.6 | And right about now I feel incredibly trapped and very stuck and at this point I seriously don't |
| 0:20.8 | know what to do. |

| 0:22.6 | Okay, so when I was younger, my family and I grew up on low income. |

| 1:09.0 | I can't afford to move out and pay rent in addition to the mortgage and I've been feeling hopeless and very |
| 1:13.7 | stuck. I can't afford to max out my 401k each year and I'm putting less into |

| 1:27.0 | I feel resentful of my parents for putting me in this situation as a result of their poor financial decisions in the past. |
