>Stuck working at parent's shop because finances are relatively tight despite a fair enough cushion

>Both parents already getting a bit too old, got however many years on the horizon to try and get a good enough income and minimized expenses before they choose to retire
>Shop isn't busy enough to convince my mom to hire a new cashier, keeping me in this limbo
>All of that is supporting my college and I have fitness obligations to maintain

>General cynicism at the world, it's hard to find someone worth trusting at all
