'If they don't like our lifestyle they can leave': Six figure-earners never cook at home, receive lecture from overbearing parents

If there's one certainty in life, it's that everyone is not always going to approve of your choices. No matter what choice you make, there will be a group of people who think you're crazy, for one reason or another. That can be tolerable, though, when those people are far away in some fringe group or distant subreddit. Those anonymous people are easy to shrug off. It's harder to face when those people are in your family. Then it gets personal, and you feel a need to defend yourself. But haters gonna hate, and you just have to keep going (as long as you're not hurting anyone). 

That's exactly the situation one couple found themselves in when a visit from one of their parents turned into an argument over how they spend their money. It's a tale as old as time, and commenters came in to set both sides of the argument straight. Read on for the juicy details.
