My parents make 300,000, but...?

Question

they make 300,000, sometimes more depending on different factors. they have a cottage worth 750,000 (inherited), a house in colorado worth 600,000 (we're trying to sell but the market's down) two timeshares, and our house is now worth 1.1 mil. (purchased for much less 10 yrs ago)

sounds fine, right? except they always seem to have no money! i dont understand what they spend it on because we honestly dont have a lot of luxuries. they never let me buy anything expensive and my mom is always like "we're broke."

why? it is unfair that i should suffer from my parents poor money management skills.

what do you think?

Answer 1

Answer 5

they have money but they want you to manage your money well so they tell you that you don't spend too much. they're just teaching you a god lesson.

Answer 6

well, from what i can tell, they may be spending it on the houses they dont use.

Maybe because they spend all their money on houses they don't need?

Answer 10

Aww!

Poor you!

You want to cry a river because mommy and daddy wont buy you everything your wittle heart desires?

Answer 11

Mortgages, credit cards, car payments, insurance, etc. Be happy with what you have and be thankful that your parents are not facing forclosure. And since you know so much about your parents financial affairs, why don't you ask where all the money is going. Even better, move out, get a job, and try and find the money for those luxuries that you feel entitled to.

Answer 12

First I doubt your parents really have poor money management skills. Its their money they work for it they have the right to do whatever they want with it. Including not giving it to you unfortunately. You cant cry and pout about it. If you're old enough you should just get a job. It'll be your money you can do whatever you want with it and you wont have to ask your parents for a dime even if you only work one day a week. If you're not old enough to get a job yet. Then you're definitely not experienced enough to judge your parents about their money management skills.  

Answer 13

You should appreciate what you have.  There are millions of people that struggle  day to day just trying to make enough to buy food and gas and you're upset because you don't get "expensive" things from your mom?  Are you REALLY serious?!  LOL.

Answer 14

GET A GRIP!

WTH?  Excuse me for not understanding. I really just can't see how your family is 'broke', Do you even know what the word broke means?

Seriously you live in a 1.1 million house. so I wouldn't exactly say that you have to suffer.....

BTW what is your parents profession ????
