Dear Reddit Community,

I am currently looking at changing jobs and am not sure whether it would be a good idea to mention the real reason why I changed my previous job in the first place. I could do more harm than good. I would like your opinion on the subject.

Perviously, I was working a job with lesser pay and somewhat financially unstable. However, the work was very interesting. Sadly, my Mother and Brother depend financially on the divorce settlement payed out by my Father, who since then became unemployed. Having a new family of his own, he stopped sending help.
Being the only member with some financial income, I was left with a choice. Stay where I am, have trouble helping them or change jobs to something far less interesting but with a very increased and stable income so that I could help them out. I opted to go for the latter.

Pass forward 1.5 years. My family is almost financially independent and my help is now minimal, leading me to start looking for another job which appeals more to my interests.

What I would like to know is, would you consider this something you would share in an interview or will this, for some reason, put me in a bad light? As in, the only reason I took the job I have now is to pay the bills and nothing more and now I'm finally out to get a  job that genuinely interests me?

Thanks
