Who Wants to Live in the Van?
Moms and dads have a tendency not to talk about finances in front of their children. For the most part, we’re thankful for that since finances are booo-riiiing. Nobody wants to hear about how much our parents spend on gas and electricity. As long as the Wi-Fi is up and our tummies are filled, we’re good. We’re good.
But if we’re going broke, we want to know about it. These parents did their best to hide the fact that they’d lost a ton of money and probably their home in the near future. The OP only learned of this fact when mom and dad were whispering about it in the other room.
