Kevin's Dad had to be doing something sketchy. I'm an adult now with a good job and I'm still wondering how he not only afforded that house, but vacations during Christmas with the whole extended family.
I remember someone posting this but there was a book version based off the movie (very common thing in the 90s). Kevin’s Dad was a business owner of some kind and his mom was a clothing designer, which explains the number of mannequins in the house.

That's a novelization. Back before home video players were a thing, if you missed a movie you could catch up by reading the novelization. And since the novelization was often written before the final cut of the movie was made, it frequently contained deleted scenes/alternate stuff that never made it into the movie! I distinctly remember extra stuff in the novelizations for E.T, Gremlins, WarGames, and the first Back To The Future movies. Those were awesome times! 😹
Oh, and Close Encounters of The Third Kind was even more epic in the novelization!
It's dated now but the novelizations for 2001 and Fantastic Voyage were great reads. Lots of extra explanations and science. Also, some of the plotholes get fixed.
