To what extent can I be expected to provide for my family as an adult?
Instead of moving out and becoming independent, I've sort of ended up taking dad's old place in the household. Basically meaning supporting them financially, working hard, drinking hard and quietly grumbling about getting no respect here. Considering that this kind of set-up literally fucking killed him, it can't be particularly good for me.
How do I weasel out of this set-up with my honour and dignity intact? I don't know if she's simply gotten more irresponsible with money sincs dad died, or whether I was just too young to know that, then, but mom is fucking fucked without me buying groceries and lending money for things, especially with my NEET sister contributing nothing to the household and refusing to move out.

Close accounting and monthly/weekly envelopes for spendings when you get your salary.
Just don't spend more than you should. If the food is stale, it's not your fault, you need to build a family of your own and they are definitely not helping.

I don't think I'm going to. I have no interest in women, I'm infertile, and it'd be unfair to lock some bitch into a completely loveless and sexless marriage with no children in return.

Barring your mother and or family being medically/emotionally/physically in need you're entitled to a life of your own.
If your mom is choosing not to work and manipulating you to provide then get out of there asap. She is actively choosing not to work etc.. That is a toxic environment and you definitely deserve to be free of it. Care for your mother so long as she is kind, take her out to lunch and so forth. But you are not her parent, her job is to take care of you not vice versa. Move out and start your own life.
