During this time, the boy turned 18, and since his parents were on a cruise, he had a plan brewing in his mind. He immediately walked over to the bank to investigate. The Original Poster (OP)\u2019s parents persuaded him and his sister to set up joint bank accounts with their mom\u2019s name tied as the secondary account holder. The decision was immediately made when OP\u2019s grandparents\u2019 will was declared. According to the will, OP\u2019s parents were to receive nothing more than a piece of land. Meanwhile, OP and his sister were set up with annuities paying monthly interest to both of them. Since the siblings were too young to understand money handling, they had no idea their mom could access their accounts. As time ticked by, OP suspected something was sketchy about his parents\u2019 lavish lifestyle, considering how they constantly claimed to being poor. Something about their sudden riches didn\u2019t add up to OP. While the parents lived in luxury, they made sure their children got nothing more than $50 Walmart gift cards each year. They never allowed OP and his sister to leave the house ever since the accounts were set up. It didn\u2019t surprise OP when his parents gave them the liberty only to pay the taxes on the interest. But nothing more was allowed. This continued until the parents seized their children\u2019s debit cards, claiming they\u2019d have to \u201cmanage themselves\u201d since money was too tight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
