Son discovers his parents are paying "struggling" brother's NYC rent, but soon learns his brother has secretly saved thousands of dollars from their funding, so he tells their father, sparking family drama: '[Dad's] thinking of reducing the amount'

I don't think being financially taken advantage of by their own son was on this sweet couple's Bingo card…At least not until this man exposed his brother's sneaky saving tendencies…These parents have two sons: one who is financially stable (six-figures-stable to be precise) and another, younger son who claims to be "struggling" to make ends meet. So, as any caring parent who's recently come into some family money, they offer to pay their younger son's rent in New York City. Nothing luxurious, but still a very generous offer…

However, the more his older brother sits with this information, the more he struggles to shake the feeling that their unhesitant contribution just isn't fair. He's never needed help, or even asked for it, but for some reason, he still thought that having them pay his adult brother's rent just didn't sit right with him…and it seems as though he was correct for trusting his intuition…Because, after speaking with his young brother, he discovered that he had saved tens of thousands of dollars from their parents 'apartment funding' without anyone's knowledge of his deceitful piggy bank!
