Support my parents
The plan..

I’m only 17 right now, and have two other siblings, however I can already tell that I am going to be the one that my parents rely on in their old age. This will be in the very near future, as the economy is speeding this whole thing up quite a bit.

Anyway, we’ll see. First I have to go to school, then find some amount of happiness that will prevent me from losing my mind, then finding financial stability, making lucrative investments, and then; voila!
