Oh yeah my parents didn’t fall into that category either but more than a couple of my friends did and my mom definitely had to keep my Dad in line financially

Unfortunately this is common in the Asian community. Growing up, I would see my friends parents driving really nice Lexus and Audi with Gucci shoes, buy their kids all the shiny toys and a big house meanwhile their kids have 0 college fund, theyre super behind on their mortgage and the fridge is always empty. And more than once our plans for the night were ruined by the power being cut off.
