The elderly couple lived on a small pension, just a few thousand dollars a month. Hank also sent his mother two thousand every month to cover groceries, so they rarely touched their own savings. What little they received, they managed to save.
Back then, Chelsea constantly found ways to take money from her parents. Hank didn’t mind—he was a senior manager pulling in over a hundred thousand a month, with bonuses and kickbacks. Supporting his sister seemed natural. There were only two siblings, and Hank had always been generous with her.
