The user also explained that another brother had worked in fintech before being laid off in August last year, while the youngest sister lost her job after the airline company she worked for shut down.<\/p>
\u201cOur other brother worked in fintech that laid him off in August of last year, and our youngest sister worked for an airline company that recently shut down,\u201d the post read.<\/p>
Mortgage pressure and financial struggles<\/b><\/p>
The family\u2019s financial problems have reportedly worsened because some members own homes with active mortgages.<\/p>
The writer said temporary jobs in retail, food service, or ride-hailing would not provide enough income to cover monthly repayments.<\/p>
\u201cThe sticky situation is that my brother and I have our own homes, and fast food, Uber, and retail will not cover our mortgages,\u201d the poster explained in the post.<\/p>
The two youngest siblings were forced to move back in with their parents after they could no longer afford rent. Although they managed to end their apartment leases, they have struggled to find work because the parents live in a rural town in South Carolina with limited employment opportunities.<\/p>
\u201cThe youngest two had to move back home because they couldn\u2019t afford their apartments and were able to break their lease and not renew,\u201d the post stated.<\/p>
The user also added that the siblings have been trying to support their parents financially, but jobs are difficult to find in the area.<\/p>
\u201cThey have been trying to help our parents with the mortgage, but they cannot find work because our parents live in a very rural town in South Carolina with very scarce opportunities, he added.\u00a0<\/p>
The user further explained that few industries in the area matched the family\u2019s professional experience.<\/p>
\u201cDue to their experience, there is literally no industry present in our parents\u2019 town, and you have to know somebody to get a retail job,\u201d the post read.<\/p>
Family debates which home to save<\/b><\/p>
The post also reflected on the family\u2019s financial background and how they believed stable corporate jobs would provide long-term security.<\/p>
\u201cWe all grew up struggling, and we all worked extremely hard to get good jobs,\u201d the individual wrote before adding, \u201cI never imagined in 1 million years that we would all be f***ed at the same time.\u201d<\/p>
The family is now debating which property they should prioritise saving as financial pressure grows. According to the post, the parents want everyone to focus on paying off their home first because they believe it is closest to being cleared.<\/p>
\u201cThe discussion in the family right now is which house to save,\u201d the user wrote.<\/p>
The writer added that the parents believe everyone should contribute towards saving their home first. \u201cOur parents are thinking that because their house is almost paid off, everyone should hunker down and help them pay the mortgage off, especially since they\u2019re behind.\u201d<\/p>
However, the individual argued that the mortgage was not actually close to being completed because the parents had struggled with repayments for years.<\/p>
\u201cThe reality is our parents have struggled to pay for the mortgage so long that really it\u2019s not almost paid off,\u201d the post continued.<\/p>
The parents reportedly hope that once one home is secured, the family can work together to save the remaining houses. The writer, however, questioned whether that would be realistic in the current job market.<\/p>
\u201cThey believe if everyone can help them pay off the house, then we can start to work together to pay off the other sibling’s house and work as a family,\u201d the individual wrote.<\/p>
The user added that the situation has become increasingly stressful because no one has been able to secure stable work. \u201cBut that is not realistic, and everyone is just super frantic because no one can find work and there are like three mortgages amongst the family, and at this point it\u2019s like someone is gonna lose their house.\u201d<\/p>
The post ended with the writer saying, \u201cWe just don\u2019t know how to deal with this. Seeking any advice possible.\u201d<\/p>
