Advice? LAC vs money from not super pooper?

[circuitrider]

Parents not giving you a straight answer on the money aspect suggests that they do not have as much as you were led to believe before, but are too embarrassed to admit it.

Or, they could be just like many parents of first-gens and prefer to keep their kids in the dark. I knew zilch about my parents finances until the day they died and then my eyes almost popped out of my head.
