Do these two following sentences have the same meaning?

1. I'm doing this just as much for my family as I am for myself.

2. I'm doing this for both my family and myself.

Actually I'm not sure if both are grammatical correct but I hope you get the idea.

These mean the same thing, yes.

However, the second one is quicker to respond with, and more fluid with speaking in English.

Either way, these are both grammatically correct and work in any situation, and mean the same thing, so use as you wish

@Cheyenne_Teniente Thank you. To be honest, the first sentence was copied from a video I was watching and I wondered if it was similar to the second one, which is way easier for me to understand. That part where it says "just as much" had me like🤔🤔🤔 haha. Again, thank you for your help.
