We also need to work hard so as not to turn out like our parents!

I needed to hear this. Black tax can be overwhelming. One can spend sleepless nights wondering whether they can ever move forward financially with family at stake.

I agree with you Susan. This is one of the most overlooked areas in personal finance because its overshadowed by complains and yet we never take time to resolve it. One of the great ideas that you spoke about is having an emergency fund for the parents. This will go a long way to sort out the small but persistence emergency calls. Second, its good to empower them by finding an income generating source for them that will also keep them busy.

GREAT talk.... Unfortunately, some family are just looking to milk anyone willing to help. I toldmy aunt to start a small business and I will fund it. She scammed me of $1000. She squandered the money on a new TV and other electronics. Now shes back struggling and iv cut her off.

This one you nailed it on the head 👉"Black tax" majority of parents have this weird expectations from their kids to do this and that just because they raised you. I mean it's ok to appreciate them however it's not ok to be responsible for their entire day to day bills👏👏 hope some are taking notes from here

Thanks for this insightful and eloquently delivered tutorials about black tax. I have seven step silblings . I dropped out of my masters program to take care of two silblings one from my mother's side and the other silbling from my father side in the university since my parents were divorce and remarried. One graduated successfully and the other drop out after second year. The one who graduated and gainfully employed refused to help me take care of our mother because she want to established herself first and doesn't want to be my mother's pension plan.

At 19 when my parents split. My mom was 40 years old. I started working and I started to pay the bills including a providing for that shelter for my mom. For the next 20 add years I worked and take care of her bills and needs. There are 5 of us am in the middle. Through the years if she has worked for 2 years in total thats alot. Then when my sibblings have a problem she calls me to fix it. Now am tired of it and slowing stopping and she is complaining that she cant work because she is old she is not 65 years old.

Offer them capital, if they don't want to work then you know they aren't looking for help but to leech you until you run dry. Takers won't put a limit, it's a giver who has to - Someone.
