If there are so many apartments and $$$ is tight tell them to move in together in one apartment to reduce costs and rent out the rest.

The guy to which you are replying is 100% correct. This is not the time for luxury. And if those women won't understand this and complain then ghost them: your life has priority: DO NOT LET THEM DESTROY YOUR OWN LIFE JUST SO THAT THEY CAN LIVE SOME IGNORANT LUXURIOUS LIFE! YOUR (FUTURE) FAMILY/CHILDREN IS WHAT MATTERS MOST! Do not destroy your life with ignorant people!

Also: stop letting that family to live in that apartment rent free! YOU are what matters, not them. Charge them or kick them out and get a new family.

But.. never ghost someone. Tell them to their faces in more and more urgent and vocal ways how wrong they are. Don't let them speak presumptions unchallenged. Treat them as people you love, which means keeping them from making bad decisions because of believing nonsense.
That apartment is my mother’s not mine. In the end it’s her say. Her friend has a nice empty apartment but she cannot find tenants. My mum says we have already enough problems. That apartment needs renovation with money I do not have. I can dream only now. She says asking for 50euros a month would be too much.

I do not think my family are freeloaders. And I do not want it to get to that that my sister becomes one. She actually is not materialistic but dad was awarding her for good grades, reading books.

In the richer European countries (and increasingly in large cities in poorer European countries) it's impossible to rent any apartment for 50 euro per month. So I'd assume you live in a relatively poor European country and far away from large cities.

- How are the government support programmes / pensions / higher educational funding?

- If you're in the EU, one of the obvious routes is to migrate to a richer country, and support your family through remittance from higher earnings.

I earn more now than I would in Germany.
