Noor, I dont mean to be rude here but is this the solution? What is the solution? What can you do so you live more comfortably? Maybe pay off your student loans and then buy a home? Dont think about what you cannot control…think of what you can make of things that ARE in your control.
This is not true.
In non-desi culture, there is no joint family system and the concept of supporting one’s parents financially is a foreign idea entirely. The kind of pressure our men feel since the day they’re born to one day be capable of supporting a wife, kids, home, parents, etc, non-desi men dont feel. In desi culture, children are the 401K…non-desi parents really have no choice in their old age so worry about their own future.
