    My old man was like this. It always felt awkward though because he made more money than a lot of my classmate’s parents combined but it didn’t show because he spent it so quickly. We rationalize it a lot by thinking about how he grew up in extreme poverty. That said, he stroked out when I was a teenager and there was nothing to fall back on afterwards.
