Loosing hope - Need help
Been working since years - no savings, expenses are growing (mostly family uses almost all the money to buy essentials and more and i don’t want to say mo), even more than salary- relatives are very rich - working hard has impacted to being no social life - never been in a relationship and i am 29 - Lots of responsibility- i don’t feel motivated anymore

Just breathe...you're young..don't stress that savings are getting depleted. If the family is using the money for basic necessity, that a requirement. You should be happy that you're able to assist with it. It's a bad world..and even in such times, you are prioritising looking after your family needs that a great thing. Do not get disheartened. You're doing great. Things will get better soon. Just keep showing up till then. :)
Thanks for saying that, its still hard to live like this but reading your comment sure did help me feel a bit lighter
Set aside some money as the salary credits into a seperate bank account, absolutely new, known to noone expect you. This will help you save and maintain your sanity.
I understand you are helping with the necessities and family responsibilities but as you said essentials and more and relatives are rich so if any money is going to level up with the richness that is not anything good but supporting a very wrong behaviour of spending more than your blanket. You can track those and talk about your family to it. It will be difficult and uncomfortable but it is necessary.
Supporting family is okay but blindly supporting them is not.
I know its just that with diwali and a couple of marriages in the family we have went over budget past some months - i felt bad when i spent 15-20 minutes thinking wether i should spend some 200 rs on zomato or should I not and eat the boring sabzi which was made - i know its a no brainer but after working so hard i felt pitty on myself that i still had to think about it :(
But i liked your suggestion to regain sanity, thanks for that!!
