Studying in Australia for one year costs 300,000 yuan, and my parents don't save any money for me at all.

I feel so frustrated and don't know where to vent my grievances. Before coming here, everyone assured me not to worry. They said that others find 500,000 a year too little, while I'm pleasantly surprised with 300,000. I was mentally prepared, but time really does change parents' perspectives. Here's what happened: My dad asked me, "How have you been lately? Don't study too hard, make sure to take some time to have fun and hang out with friends." I replied, "Everything is fine, studying isn't tiring, as long as you and mom are doing well." Then he asked about money, whether it's enough or not. I said, "It's almost enough, but a bit tight. Everything here is quite expensive." After hearing that, my dad said, "You're not being frugal at all. We're working hard to support you going abroad. Just work hard and get a scholarship." I was speechless upon hearing that. Scholarships aren't something you can just get if you want to. And I'm already being frugal enough. I'm even doing part-time jobs now, exhausted from attending classes and searching for apartments after school, just to earn some money. 😭 Am I the only one going through this? I understand that parents have it tough, but I'm already being so frugal. You understand how expensive Sydney is, right? 😭
