How do I change their minds?

So my family lineage isn't exactly known for having a lot, everyone has struggled and even now are struggling. But I just got done talking with my aunt, despite talking with her about how bad things are getting and why we should try shooting for higher pay and a 4 day work week I was told that if I wanted money that badly I should just get a second job. She acted as if it were the only best option if I want an income that will let me have something after being the sole income for my mother and two siblings. Of course I don't believe I should, as she put it, “work myself until I can't anymore” since I'm still just 20 to save up money for things but despite my arguments on how that just isn't even a life I got nowhere. This is a constant thing…

This is a constant thing between any family member and idk what to do
