The Filial Piety Trap: Why an $1,800/Month Salary Disappears to Zero
Earning NT$60,000 a month but saving nothing? The culprit isn't latte inflation — it's the open-ended filial duty payment draining your family of origin. We dissect two real cases (an NT$40,000/month transfer to a face-obsessed father, and a daughter forced to take out a NT$2M loan for her brother) and run the math: NT$20,000/month for 30 years at 7% compound return is NT$24 million in lost wealth. Four concrete steps to set financial boundaries and reclaim your future.
