Don't know that feel desu. >Mom and dad born into very poor families >Mom work for gubbermint since 17, went part time after I was born. >Dad was farmer, very poor, made less than £500 a month profit and had to take care of his mom >He didn't live in a house with running water or a toilet until 1991 (was born in 61) >Dad's mom then decides to sell the farm he's been working for 30 years out from under him while giving him zero (I'm dead serious) >Dad goes to work in factory >Does surprisingly well due to work ethic >Income goes through the roof but it all goes to savings. >Parents paid off mortgage 10 years ago, only monthly expenses they have is electricity and broadband (less than 100 quid a month altogether). >Buy cars once every 10-15 years, never new, 3-5 years old. Cash, never finance. Reliable brands, common, serviced every ~15k miles. >Pretty sure they've gone from 0 to near a mil in savings over the last 20 years but they keep it under wraps.
Proud of them desu.

>Mom makes 140k per year paid off their house, saves, invests, buys small apartments, bought a small house, basically runs the family >Dad used to be a pro basketball player, currently makes 20-30k per year, keeps laughing at me for saving and investing my money, tells me I should be living my life right now (I'm 27), keeps buying new clothes with mom's money
I used to respect my dad because he's sporty, cool and funny but every year I'm understanding more and more that I grew up in a reaaally weird family

>tfw you spend your life making and saving money, making huge sacrafices so your family can finally get out of mediocrity, then your offspring ruins it all

Josiah Ortiz
Women mate, fucking pathetic.
Brandon Edwards
Just gut punch your dad and tell him he’s pathetic for earning less than his wife. He’ll cry, mark my words.

I'm a bit of a retard like that. I like online shopping too much so I often find at the end of the month I need to dip into my crypto to pay a tax bill or something (self employed so tax isn't deducted from my salary automatically, fug).

>be my parents >spend over $1000 a month on scratch off lottery tickets, weed, and mary kay makeup >blame everyone but themselves when they're in their sixties and have nothing saved for retirement and have been living in the same house for over 20 years and are not even 25% of the way to paying off any one of their 3 mortgages
> how can $150k worth of stuff break down all at once? not all at once - it uses some fucked up heat pump flow water heater/ heating combo (this alone was about 70k, and parts expensive like fuck) - heating was fucked up - roof was fucked up - heat pipes for heat pump were fucked up
>>wtf costs $40k/year in upkeep mostly electricity and fuel because you literally may literally frezee in winter and during summer you have up to 38C inside
Caleb Russell
Its not a shitty truck tho. Thats my whole point or are you too fucking stupid to retain a single paragraph of words that arent related to nigger cock?
