Have heart of respect and responsibility

They sound great.

He could possibly pay you back once he got a job from a degree. Salary means you probably don't live paycheck to paycheck. Help your brother out, your... parents may suck but he's bettering his life and if its not too much of s financial strain then be the bigger person and hopefully he's grateful later on, 2 people making more money is better than one, be empathetic  more

I wouldn't agree to pay anything towards his tuition - especially if he is not willing to get a part time job. It's not your job to support him,... especially as he lives with your parents! He will have to figure it out just like other students who go to college and university do!! more

Hello

Did your parents pay for you to go to college?

There is not enough information here as to why your parents think it is your responsibility. However, he is their child, not yours. Your willingness... to contribute is admirable, but before you commit , run the numbers. Realistically what amount can you contribute and not put your self in financial jeopardy? Once you have that figured out, then your brother has his own math to do. Is he willing to work while in school? Is he able to take school loans? How much will your parents contribute? He can then decide if he can go or if he needs a gap year to work and save. Your parents decision to not fund him does not mean that the burden shifts to you. He is their child not yours. more

Give your offer, what you can comfortably afford. Sit back and relax.

It’s not fair for you alone to pay your brother’s tuition if your parents can help and he can work. Offer to pay what you can afford (maybe half), and... suggest everyone else shares the rest. Set clear limits and protect your own finances. more

This isn't up for debate. No matter the perspective of your parents, you are responsible for yourself. The only time you are responsible for anybody... else is when you have a family of your own. You dont owe anything to your parents or your brother. Taking care of them is one thing but to be the sole provider of your brothers future is INSANE.  more

I had to pay for my own college… I would say, he won’t be going🤣🤣🤣

Ridiculous expectation. He doesn’t want to get a job? I had TWO in college, financial aid and scholarships. What happens when he graduates? Will he... want to get a job THEN?

He can apply for grants, scholarships and financial aid. Your parents can pay what they can/are willing to, and he can sort out the rest…or not go to college! SMH!  more

tell your parents that your brother is THEIR son, not yours, and that if they want someone to pay his tuition other than himself, to look in a mirror... to see who that person would be. put your foot down - it sounds like they've been using you all your life and he's the golden child that's never had to fend for himself. more

Do not pay one dime of your brothers tuition. It is your parents and his responsibility. Dont allow people to use you!!! Move if you have to but stand... your ground on this. more

That's crazy. You are being used. Your brother can get his lazy butt a job and if he really wants to go to college and get loans your parents can... co-sign since they don't want to pay. Let your brother figure it out, take a gap year and grow up. Get away from that toxic situation. more

Your brother should apply for various student loans that are available for those in his position. And, maybe, your parents should divert some of their... vacation money toward your brother’s tuition. I would suggest you establish some boundaries on what appears to be parental arrogance and control. more

No

Let your parents be considerate and take on their full role you have personal life to live and life ahead is tough for you if you don't allocate... resources well more

I had the same task .
It is good to hear you are willing to foot half.Let them meet the rest. Going for vacations is not investing in him, wastage.

Live kind-hearted
