It's a bit confusing with just updating the first post, maybe easier to just write replies?
Gross Salary/Wages: yearly wage would be approximate $18000
I assume this is your after tax income?
Internet tells me that the average net salary in Malta is around 1100€ a month. That tells me that you should be able to cut your spending as you spend more than that.
A single person should be able to live on less than one average salary in any remotely developed country (an assumption I'm making based on having lived in 4 of those in Europe but I am willing to admit that because Malta is an island the context could be radically different).
Unfortunately we can't tell you much without knowing a lot more about the local context and Malta being such a small country it's hard to find someone with local knowledge.
But more specific info is definitely needed.
Specifically for example what is the income and net worth of your parents and if you have siblings.
Given that I assume (and Internet confirms) that healthcare in Malta is completely free on the receiving end and that I strongly doubt that your parents are paying for housing (again making an assumption based on cultural similarities with my home country so I may be wrong, please correct me) they cannot be burdened by some particular extraordinary costs you must bear? Or?
It's rather vague to say that your parents are your dependents without specifying what that *really* means.
Especially as because you live in Europe it's hard to imagine them homeless and incomeless.
