Out of Asia. Some cultures expect the married child to live with the family and the grandmother helots to take care of the kids while the DIL does all the work. Pretty common when I lived in Japan 30 years ago, but things were beginning to change. Even when ‘set’ in the US, they often still contain Japanese or sometimes Indian or Chinese culture.
Trouble is, people like John have gone their whole lives having their families bigging them up and telling them that they’re the greatest and they become arrogant and cruel. Very often they develop a bad attitude which comes across in job interviews and they subsequentally can’t handle rejection and that they’re not as great as they’ve grown to think they are.
I love stories where the entitled family kicks the cash-cow/work-horse out of the home, and learns too late that there’s no one left to pay the bills, or do the chores. 💸💸
They will be a "power couple" because their combined salary will be $100,000. Ha! Maybe if they each made $100,000 a year, and even then when one lives in areas like NYC, LA, Chicago, and other major cities, one would be living paycheck to paycheck making only $100,000 a year. The median price of all currently available listings in NYC is $4,320, or roughly $80 per square feet.
Tell the SIL you'll hire her - on a 100% commission basis. If she's so 'talented' and 'elite', she'll jump at the chance. ahahahaha. Oh, and she has to find her own suppliers and customers. ahahahaha
I wonder if John's shoulders aren't aching with the weight of his own ego. This has to be Japanese. The culture is obsessed with working for major corporations...even if they're drones.
I don't think that the family doesn't know that there are some people who have successful jobs or their own business without going to college they're living in the dark ages.
I don't think that it is common, at least not in the USA. People may get the same message that saying one is "elite " conveys but in a more subtle way. They don't go around telling everyone they are elite they instead they show it through bragging and conspicuous consummation.
It is indeed impressive that they learned English. English is one of the hardest languages for non-natives to learn. However, it simply doesn't work when they read stories in which they are portrayed as natives of the United States. Even an Asian person who was born and raised in the United States would not speak like that. Said Asian person would sound exactly like any other native of the United States. Let's keep it real.
English is hard to learn, and it's my 1 and only language I know, and I still have trouble with it. I want to learn other languages but I'm scared to because of the above.
@@amberaseltine3012 It is perfectly okay when learning a second or third language, to not always get all the pronunciations and sentence structure perfect, and there will always be a foreign accent, which is also perfectly okay...AS LONG AS, you are NOT portraying yourself as a native speaker. If you are portraying yourself as someone born and raised in the United States, your accent must match that of one of the States. Otherwise, you are an obvious pretender. That is what I was trying to get across with my previous comment.
CLARA LISTEN UP AND LISTEN GOOD THERE TOO CUPCAKE AND CLARA YOU GOT THIS CUPCAKE AND JOHN LISTEN UP AND LISTEN GOOD THERE TOO FRUITCAKE AND YOU GOT THIS TOO FRUITCAKE AND JOHN THE FRUITCAKE AND CLARA THE CUPCAKE ARE A POWER COUPLE TOO
@@jonborchardt5548 it is a waste of money to go to college unless you need that degree to teach, become a doctor or dentist or vet or a lawyer. you can learn more about computer or book keeping and business by going to a few year at a community college. today people seems to go to college for idiot courses and degrees
Making sure that we can't read the end of the story is silly. Furthermore, the text itself is full of spelling and grammatical errors. Apart from that, well done.
Her brother and his fiancé; the "power couple" will be making a combined $100K? That's not THAT great...that's $50K each a year. Good money, but not "elite."
Preposterous accents. It was hard to listen to the “story” around the odd emphasis and strange phrasing. Sorry to offend those who like it, but this hit me wrong.
Speak 4 languages no big deal in Europe. Friend from University grew up in what was then Yugoslavia. She needed to speak 5 languages just to get most goods as went to different villages to get different goods and each had different languages. Wife cousin spike 4 languages as grew up in Switzerland.

One running theme in these stories is the people who ate elite and making bank all seem to be going back to live with the parents.

And they never seem to have money in the bank?

The “college” of life experience gives the best education. 🎓
"I went to the college off boggit and scarper lol
Bone 'em young University.
"Eklon?" Hahaha!

Exactly😅
A guy who went to an ivy league university would know how to pronounce the words in the script.
Obviously, the voice actors didn’t even pass their ESL course.
Good acting Jon guys
Thanks for the story
Happy Thursday
I wonder if the parents were really onboard with OP moving out considering how much of a meal ticket she was. Or was it just the bother's boasting?
"I went to college."
-S. Plankton
Good luck with that at the chum bucket.
@@paulleckner8235 Yeowie! Nicely done…
Moving somebody’s property without permission is a crime lol
If they so elite then why did they move back home why not get their own house instead

So many major corporations, major elite means there are worldwide.

Scholar ships? Is that a smart ship, or do you mean scholarship? 😉🤪

A college degree is only as good as a graduate's attitude towards others.

By the way rent of only $1100 month? Sydney has bedsits at $500 a week in our worst areas. Some mining towns have no houses under $2 000 a week.
