I recall seeing a verse of Jesus' in the Gospels something along the line that one should not purposely become a burden on others. For the life of me I can't find that verse.

Maybe it's God's way of telling me that I need to need to stop being so lazy and get back to reading my Bible. And start with the gospels so I can find that verse!

This it?:

2Cr 12:14 Here for this third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I do not seek what is yours, but you; for children are not responsible to save up for {their} parents, but parents for {their} children.

Also related.... “Neither a debtor or a lender be...”

Still looking for that one, but I know it’s in there.

There’s a verse in the Old Testament that says that a man who does not support his family is worse than an infidel. Also, Paul said whoever does not work, should not eat.
