A son paying off his father's debts is among the righteous deeds and acts of piety, but it is not obligatory for him. Therefore, you are not required to give him your entire salary except for your expenses. Rather, pay off what you can, and you will be rewarded for it. You can allocate a portion of your salary for this and save another portion for marriage.
