#pixie vents

I would like to slap Comcast for sucking so much.

A little bit of background first. Both my brother and I still live at home for reduced rent although this rent is exactly the same price. This is annoying but I can live with it even if he does earn more than a third more than me a month. As I said it's irritating, it's unfair but the rent is still less than what I'd pay in the private sector.

On we go to today. Mum and Dad took the dog to the vets today for tests as she's been aggravating her skin again. She has allergies and we think this is just a flare up but better to be safe than sorry. After Mum goes to bed Dad picks up the receipt and goes "I need X off both of you at the end of the month" this is because HE fucked up his bank accounts and lost the interest on them so he wants us to pick up the bill. Now the helping pay the vets bill isn't the issue really it's a multifold problem.

Firstly he stopped the dog's insurance two years ago and I can only presume the account he said he was paying the money he was "saving" into doesn't exist.

Secondly, he messed up his accounts not me.

Thirdly, a hike in money out disproportionatly affects me as I'm the lowest earner in the house. So by saying you both owe X actually means I owe more than my brother.

Fourthly, as fast as I start to try saving again he decides he's buggered up his accounts again. He did this in November when he suddenly announced he was raising the rent.

It's exhausting and it half the time it feels as though he's just taking advantage. He's not indebt, his mortage is literally a triple figure total a year and he's retired but his pension is bigger than what I can earn in over two years (this is not including his state pension, Mum's various pensions and his stocks and shares) so you can kinda see why I want to scream. As for the brother he just grumps at me if I bring any of this up. It should also be pointed out that he has enough saved that he could put down a sizeable deposit on a house and not flinch. I however do not and as I'm learning to drive a sizeable portion of my income is spent this way. Like literally over a quarter of my income goes on this.
