My parents are in debt and I give the bulk of my salary to them. The rest of my salary is used to pay off my own university loans, transport, phone bills, insurance. How do I help my family live more comfortably and reduce our debt?

My dad is also making a loss as a taxi driver from rent, he is in retirement age with zero savings.

I almost never spend money on non-essentials and I spend less than $3 on meals to save money, yet my family is still struggling. How do I help my family live more comfortably and reduce our debt?

If the taxi is generating debt instead, why not ask him to get a job at uniqlo or even fast food resturants?

You might want to reach out to Family Service Centre in your area to see how they can help or see if you're able to leverage on their network to another organisation that could help.

CDC has a tie-up with Maybank on a financial literacy workshop to teach about financial knowledge and money management skills. It's offered to low-income families referred by Family Service Centre and 4 other partners.
