You
have to hold on to your dreams, even if you support your family. You do
this not by holding them as a fantasy, but by taking practical steps to
make them a reality. (modified)
This is a gem I picked from Suze Orman's book The Laws of Money, The Lessons of Life, to which I owe my family's relative financial stability (as of 2013!). I hope more people, especially those with loving intentions to labor and send their siblings to school and pay for loans their relatives owe, wear around their neck.
Please do not think that you're becoming unselfish by giving and giving. The truth
is, if you fail to protect and secure your self, you may just end up
becoming another liability, if not a casualty, of your own good intentions.
A balancing act, then, is
required.
