Dear Pearl:

You wrote: “Why do I have to balance others’ money for the rest of my life?”- you mean, why do you have to work with numbers, be an accountant, for the rest of your life, correct?

Well, you don’t have to. Not for the rest of your life.

Reads to me that your uncle’s thinking is locked in, focused on the small part of the picture and he will not look around it. You point to other areas of the picture, of reality, but he won’t look there.

You are looking at the bigger picture of reality. Keep looking at the bigger picture and no longer try to make your uncle see it. And then, over time, make your life fit the bigger picture.
