Can I use the subjunctive twice in the same sentence?
Im trying to say "They (parents) recommend that I become a person that receives a lot of money because they insist on that I give them money for retirement" Here is what I have " Ellos recomiendan que yo sea una persona que recibo muchos dinero porque ellos insisten en que les dé dinero para jubilación "
From what I see it has all the necessities

There is no rule about how many times subjunctive can be used in a sentence.
I would say it this way: Ellos recomiendan que me vuelva a una persona que gane mucho dinero porque insisten que les dé dinero para su jubilación.
They (parents) recommend that I become a person that receives a lot of money because they insist on that I give them money for retirement. (= recomiendan que me vuelva una persona que reciba mucho dinero porque insisten en que les dé dinero para su jubilación)
Also, you can say ... that I become a person... = ... que me convierta en una persona...
There are two entities here. "Ellos" y "Yo"'. There are several clauses, but still only two subjects. Therefore, Indcative for "ellos", y subjuntive for "Yo". It should be "Ellos recomienden" (indicative).
I prefer "convertir". "Ellos recomienden que me convierta en persona de ingresos mayores a que puedo sostenerles en la jubilación.''
Jmmm. Another question. Should "puedo" be "pueda"? It hasn't happened yet (A trigger for the subjunctive) although I'm talking about it now. A little help from my friends, please.
I think "pueda". Rules, rules, rules!
