Let me rant about home, again

It's hard to grow up in a family where favoritism is existing. I grew up invalidated my feelings by my parents. For my mother, there is only one opinion that matters, that's my brother.

It's not a big deal to me to pay my family's bills and buy food for "everyone". But most of the time, all the foods I bought was consumed, and I haven't even tasted it. I feel so drained for working extra hours and not getting empathy. I just want to eat the meat I bought and marinated last night, but when I found the one last piece, my mother stopped me and says its for my brother. Now I told her some things we need to do to spend money efficiently, because her retirement fund went on my brother's computer, phone, and other gadgets. But she's mad at me now. I sold my laptap to buy a printer and a samsung tablet, because our printer is in my brother's room and we can't almost use it. Also, my employer provided a new laptop, that's why I think I don't need my personal laptop anymore. My brother saw my new printer and tablet, now he is forcing my mother to buy him also. And guess what, my mom agrees.

I love my family so much, but I want to break free at the same time.

I understand there are cultural differences but even if you are the youngest and you are 26-30, you are an adult, to make your own adult decisions, including telling your family your true feelings.

that was your mom's fault for spending all of her money, it's your brother's problem if he wants something expensive HE can earn the money to buy it.

the food you never see - you don't have to buy that, sounds to me like you hold all the power, sit your family down and tell them you aren't buying anymore food until things turn around.
