> dad worked for the nrc for 40 years making ungodly sums of money > parents never saved any of it, just pissed it all away > dad would buy a new truck every year, trade in the old one at a loss > every two or three years or so mom would insist on moving to a new house, sell the old one at a loss > buy land, try to build a house, overpay on everything, run out of money, sell the half-built house and land at a loss > dad's retired now, mom never worked a day in her life > they still live comfortably on dad's social security, he even collects old motorcycles > i work three jobs and live in a shitty apartment, but every time i visit mom still insists on bitching to me about how expensive their bills are and how little money is in their bank account oh and by the way she doesn't want the three dogs she bought two weeks ago any more so i should take a week off from work and drive them to her sister's house in southern texas i don't visit my parents any more.
