There is no contradiction between investing in yourself and supporting parents. Both can exist at the same time and both can be handled well. You just need to make a simple configuration.
Our common configuration is the rule of 432 1. For your current problem, you can also configure it according to this rule, for example:
40% of the money is invested (including 50% investment +50% principal appreciation plan, stock fund, P2P foreign exchange, etc.). Such as self-study and training);
30% of the money is used for daily necessities (because of youth, the cost of living is high, such as renting a house, eating, riding a horse, dressing, etc. , must be strictly controlled within the planned expenditure, otherwise this value-added system will be completed very late);
20% of the money is used for parents (with the growth of parents' age, the cost of medical care, pension and living will be higher and higher, and a fixed amount will be set aside every month, which can be placed in current income products such as Yu 'ebao and Licaitong, which can be withdrawn at any time and paid conveniently);
65,438+00% of the money is used for medicine and insurance (because you are young, don't give yourself too much burden on medicine and insurance, and it is better to distribute the income no more than 65,438+00%. Of course, when uncontrollable things happen, there is nothing anyone can do.
You can refer to the above configuration, you can also make more subtle adjustments according to your actual situation, and you can also make different plans at different ages, which are beneficial.
