no debt but kind of broke. both own their homes and cars. dad lives on a $35k pension, has about $120k in stocks paying 4-5k a year in dividends, somehow never has money. mom has $500k in the bank drawing interest but lives off of social security, she's ridiculously frugal.

my dad is insanely rich, my mom is insanely poor. divorce really should be illegal imo.

he has a whole office he never uses with a screen and a Herman Miller Aeron but I don't think he's sat in it once before. It's just for the flex.

my dad was really depressed because he had to sell his cabin on a lake, this is one of three cabins, ignoring all of the other properties he has, completely vacant 99% of the year

My father is generally doing fine, but still on a payment plan with the government to reimburse for all the military helicopters he crashed by sucking the pilots' dicks.

mom is dead and dad has no liquid money (retired/lives off SSI) but the house+land is probably worth 700k

My parents seem to have found an infinite money glitch the way they are spending. My mom ordered like 200 Christmas gifts for us this year on amazon and they're still coming every day, I just got a new north face coat for like $300 sent here and they spent like 100k putting in a huge propane generator and solar battery backup etc. at their cabin and bought a beach house in florida they have yet to visit and my dad bought an old vintage jeep he has driven twice
