i think that there is some cultural stuff in here that I won't pretend to understand.

i will say this w the utmost respect: you are not responsible for your parents.

that's just not the deal. yes - you want them to be happy and healthy, but at what cost? bro if you have things you want to do with your life - i promise you they want you to do that.

find somebody to rent your room? - get a portion (or maybe all) of your 33% covered by somebody else. maybe your parents could host a student? - they might really enjoy that. you hang onto some equity and you get your freedom.

otherwise nothing is really going to change. that's fine if you're into it - i know people that are more than happy to do what you are doing now. but it doesn't sound like it's for you.

hang onto that entrepreneurial spirit. I went out on my own when i was in my 20's and I've never (really) looked back. being your own boss is incredibly liberating. it's tough too - but i wouldn't change anything about it.

hang tough homie
