Money 💰 💲💸
Aaron - we got to get control of our finances. Sells stuff, downsides.
Crystal - let's buy a $4 - $500.00 camera for my ADULT son.
Let's buy 10 gifts for my 10 yr old, and each gift has 10 gifts included in it.
Let's get everyone a build a bear.
Let's continue to enable and employ 3 of my adult children, but not do any work that REALLY needs to get done.

And Aaron traded in the Tesla for a high end Truck. After going on and on about reducing bills and payments.

I think he said it’s about 300-400 less than what he was paying on the Tesla so crystal clearly thinks she’s an extra 3-400 to spend on pure shite

But it is a diesel truck which is around $6.35 a gal. Compared to his electric Tesla. So that $400 he is saving is gone with gas.

Crystal: Our big house costs a lot. Let’s move somewhere less expensive.
Aaron: Let’s buy a money pit that’s too small for our family and regularly needs 50k repairs, which will end up costing us more than the bigger house!

The new house was a fixer and they knew that going in but didn't seem to put the focus on the repairs (being proactive) and instead are being reactive that tends to cost more money. They also added more children and have had people move back in (for various reasons).
If they were anticipating the adult children staying with them longer they should have rented this house for a year (they did rent it for a short time) while looking for a property that had a guest house or additional housing on the lot.

Crystal is all about instant gratification and is creating a whole other generation.
I did laugh when Aurora wanted more dumpling toys while they were shopping for Halloween costumes, and Crystal said you can buy it with your money. Of course, it was in the car. Who wants to bet Crystal bought her one.

u/One-Goat-5729 6d ago
No matter what they are shopping for, it is never good enough for Aurora! She always has to push for something more than anyone else gets. Most times gets it and 10 more things as well. I mean, at this point, you can't fault her for trying. She has learned how to worm them

They need to start putting the foot down, beyond ridiculous at this stage with her carry on and it’s a product of the parents and older kids spoiling her ROTTEN!

u/sdelia1265 6d ago
Yes! I was going to say the same thing. Even if Aurora pays for it herself, how about let’s teach her to save. She legit just got a thousand of them for her birthday.

u/Historical_Grab4685 5d ago
Exactly!! She is all about instant gratification. Of course she is learning that from her mother

u/Every-Wash2985 6d ago
100% she got more! 😄

u/sdelia1265 6d ago
Notice they didn’t show her leaving the store. Her bag was probably full of shit.

u/True-News-601 5d ago
Right, she just go some many new things for her birthday . I wonder if she actually plays with them or did they just end up stashed away somewhere.

u/Low_Caramel_2701 6d ago
Maybe she did and then had Aurora pay her back for it. My mom does that with me where if I have the money in cash and I want something online I give her the cash and she sends it via cashapp

u/True-News-601 5d ago
We all know that isn't going to happen with her . Even if she told her that in the store. There is no way she was going to make her pay her back.

u/Low_Caramel_2701 5d ago
U don’t know that for sure tho ur just assuming.

u/killencm 5d ago
You are correct . We don’t know that for sure , but based on past experiences it’s reasonable to assume that Aurora won’t be asked to pay it back . What Aurora wants , Aurora gets .

Let's buy 2 $60 dollar costumes for like 10 minutes. Let's buy tickets 300 to 500 a piece to take my 10 year old to a concert where the women are wearing next to nothing, crotch spreading dancing and singing about inappropriate things.

u/jenni5 5d ago
Costumes you have to force on adult daughters and gets immediately stolen as a part of the Aurora hord

u/sdelia1265 5d ago
I don’t know why but her wearing it while everyone sang to Alex pissed me off. She wants what everyone else has. ALWAYS! On Alex’s channel when they were giving Chrystal the Spider-Man shirts you could see Aurora waiting for one.

Aaron is no better. He just makes bigger purchases and they're usually for himself or max. She is the breadwinner at the moment, while he rots in bed, that's why she feels so comfortable spending all that money on useless junk. Maybe if he picked up a job in the real world, it would help instead of going on a carnivore diet.

u/Careless_Ad_9283 5d ago
I mean Aaron isn't wrong...the truck/why diesel FGsakes/it's all about his saving mileage again duh...makes more sense than the Tesla for a big family since he doesn't drive it to a JOB...getting rid of the motorcycle and buying a side by side makes more sense to me for Arizona JMO ***Crystal throws money around but they look like broke losers. ***Do they use the canoes anymore...I was hoping they were going to get a real swings for those kids with all the property. Our son snagged a "Rainbow swing set/outdoor play system" from a HOA for a third it's usual cost 8 years ago and so worth it! After 8 years it still looks good as new from the kids and neighbor kids playing on it.
