It’s always awkward to talk about money. You never know who has how much, how they got it, and how they feel about it. This is especially true when it comes to family. And if you’re young, it’s even weirder. How much do your parents control your spending? Should they control it at all? Living …

He kicks off his workboots by the front door, tugs at the slightly-too-snug hem of his favorite t-shirt, then hijacks the remote before falling asleep on his favorite chair.

Parents hide Yale and West Point athletic scholarships from their 17-year-old son, don’t tell him about them until he’s 24: ‘You aren’t that smart anyway’
