I'm feeling depressed. I know I shouldn't compare myself with others. But I realised o am in my 30s but I accomplished nothing. I'm poor, my family expects me to pay everything because I earned the most. But turns out my siblings who earn lesser than me, saved most money because they didn't fork out money for anything. I know I should expect nothing in return for things I have done. But I feel I am being taken for granted.

Dear User, I hear you. It sounds like you're feeling overwhelmed and down about your current situation. It's understandable to feel that way, especially when comparing yourself to others. It's important to remember that everyone's journey is different, and accomplishments are subjective. What may seem like a small accomplishment to one person could be a huge achievement for another. Please be gentle with yourself and try not to compare your journey to others. You are doing the best you can with what you have, and that's all that matters.
From a Buddhist perspective, it's important to practice gratitude. It's easy to focus on what we don't have, but it's essential to appreciate what we do have. Take a moment to list down things you're grateful for, no matter how small they are. It could be something as simple as having a roof over your head or having food on the table. Practicing gratitude can help shift your focus from what's lacking to what's present.
From a psychological perspective, it's important to communicate your feelings to your family. It's understandable that you feel taken for granted, but your family may not be aware of how you're feeling. Have an open and honest conversation with them and set boundaries. It's okay to say no when you're not comfortable with something. Additionally, it sounds like you may be struggling with financial stress. Consider speaking with a financial advisor to help you create a budget and manage your finances.
In summary, remember to be gentle with yourself and practice gratitude. Communicate your feelings to your family and set boundaries. Seek out a financial advisor to help manage your finances.
