Personally, I like to be an adult because I like to be able to help others as much as I can. When I was a child I had no real freedom I was told what to do by my parents. Now I am free to try whatever I can and even help others. I am an older sister and I always used some of my work money to help my family through difficult times, but I do not feel obliged to. I believe we need to help poor people and family and neighbors, but also each person lives with their choices and responsibilities. For example, my sister chose to get married and have a family when they didn't have stable jobs and enough money. Now her husband works all day for little money but it was their choice. I chose not to have a family until I am sure I can support them and also do a work that I like and pays fairly. So I don't feel obligated to give any of my money to them because if they made the same sacrifice that I did and waited a bit longer until they finished all their studies and found better jobs they would be in a better (in my opinion) situation now. Maybe some people value more financial freedom while others value more family with many children. I choose to become independent first and then do anything else. This doesn't mean that I'm not helping my parents and family, I buy them food and electrical devices, but I wouldn't pay their loans for example. Because I would never take loans like that myself. It is harsh but one can not be responsible for other people's choices unfortunately.
