Sue is definately right that she should never have open her father's letter in the first place because she's always worried about everything while her brothers don't care about the family's problems.
She opened the paycheck not a letter. Could you imagine getting paid in the form of a letter? Dear employee, for the hours you put in over the last week we feel that we should pay you some money for services. We hereby authorize you to receive $1000.

@@ducknerI’ve been working for about 25 years and have never gotten anything with my paycheck other than the envelope it was in. And that was 20 years ago before I had a job that did direct deposit.
My mom kept it really well hidden that we were poor. So well that I didn't even notice it when I was a kid and we were really poor. When I got older she managed to get a better job and we were okay. She was such a great mom. I miss her every single day.
This is very sweet because as a kid you don't grasp the concept of money, I remember asking for things all the time and my mum getting angry at me for being inconsiderate but I had no idea, as a teenager I started to realize those things like Sue and became much more aware of what I asked for.
my parents were very rich but i used to think we were broke lol, cuz they never bought me presents or expensive toys, or lived a glamorous lifestyle,. i didn't realize they were rich till i was like 16. Them being cheap was when i was a kid was worth it though, because they spent a lot of money on me and my sister as i got older, like paying for both of our undergrad and medical school tuitions, buying me a house at age 25, and 2 brand new cars, one when i was 19 and the second one when i graduated med school.
This show was exactly my family growing up we couldn't afford nothing except what kept us alive and my sister got a little better treatment. I love you sis only one that made it out
1:17 I mean, while Axl is definitely being self-involved here, he's got a point. Having a kid when you're already broke is a bad idea. Having additional ones after that when you're STILL broke is just plain foolishness...
Studies show most men make more money the more children they have. One study was in a Mexican suit factory, and the more children a man had, the faster he completed a suit.
Some people want families, and some of them make it work. The family in this show certainly makes it work, and they are all clearly good people. My wife and I aren't extremely well off but we know we'll be good parents.
I found out that my Mother was mentally ill about money and we wore rags as children and when my Mother died she had 1.2 million in the bank . Even my Dad had no idea .She lied to him and cried and said "We just can`t making ends meet and you need to earn more money" He worked three jobs and I never saw him look rested ever.He died at 67 and she died at 85 what a crime that she never got the help that she needed .She had a small excuse in that her Mother died in a TB camp when she was 7 and was shipped around to various family members her whole life and even cleaned houses in Beverly Hills while in High School.
To be fair Axel does have a lot of football expenses lol. Do I really need it on a pencil case lol. Sue is so sweet. She doesn’t need to know let her be a kid sometimes
I want to be that kind of parents. I remeber when i was in middle school and there's a trip that my parents can't afford. The way my dad handle it was through threat. He said "the trip is not important, you're going to just play and tired all day, I'll talk to your school about it, and if you still insist go find the money yourself", instead of telling the truth that he doesn't have the money. I didn't go and hold the tears when I see my classmates excitedly talk about the trip. Growing up I always wish what if my parents done it differently back then, that they show their efforts just like the one in the video. If they say it honestly, i would try my best to understand, even willingly give up the trip with an ease in heart. Now I know what kind of parents I want to become. I would take the full responsibility for having children of my own.
Its called selling plasma. Its how my parents payed for a few school trips, and how I went to the amusement park for making honor role ( I was notoriously bad at school, little did they know, that was the year the doctors gave me ritilin)
I think she was worried about a school trip in this show’s scene though, and since there’s virtually no ceiling on the amount of optional expenses a child or teen could want/ask for, it isn’t necessarily illogical for them to consider the realism of their parents’ finances in asking for money for optional things (especially as a teen). Both her and Axl are right in some way, though, because her specific reaction of guilt-especially over something that she wasn’t aware of-is a bit intense/high; having consideration doesn’t mean she needs to beat herself up over it from one scene to the next.
@@mossgeorge2001 In one of the last seasons sue made mike pay for an entire semester of her college tuition out of pocket because she never renewed her financial aid. Axel got a full scholarship for his athletics.
Gee, and we wonder why the birthrate is down. 🙄 It has gotten harder, more like impossible to afford kids. And some of could afford our kids until 2020 wrecked everything. Life doesn't always go as planned.
Same found out my dad scrimped and saved till hes a “millionaire” like when we were little we never ate fast food, didnt go out shopping, couldnt buy toys, every grain of rice was precious, my dads shoes are currently falling apart (the sole legit fell off in one section, he wears clothes passrd down from my grandpa so i figured we were like poor to middle of the road. Actually we still live like we are poor. Its just the way my parents were raised bc they came from dirt poor famililes and i personally dont feel like im missing anythibg
Quarries come in different shapes, sizes and profit margins Also, the quarry being shut down for a long time was a major plot point in some of the seasons
My parents taught me about finances when I was very young. I had a very good idea about what was going in and out. It definitely helped me a lot as an adult.
@@kristalann5151 Yeah, but many of us are stuck in apartments that are falling apart. Getting by paycheck to paycheck. The idea of a decent, albeit rundown, home still seems fairly "well off" by comparison sadly. There is a reason so many people under like 35 feel they may never own their own home in their lives.

It's not their responsibility. Their parents chose to have three kids, so it's on them to provide for them.

Sue was always such a sweetie
You will understand when you become a parent.
Its sweet that sue was considerate
i know its just a show but the fact she didnt know they are poor shows how good the parenting is
