Must be nice

A guy loses his job, and his wife has no job, and he has 3 kids.
So he buys a freakin nice 2 bedroom house with a garage and a 3rd bedroom created out of a finished attic?
Its located in a nice little burbs too.

Yet the entire film is them crying that they have to live in this crappy house and at a party someone even makes a comment about how he's not in a good part of town.

And then when the house is destroyed in a fashion that Im pretty darn sure insurance wont cover, he goes shopping for equally nice homes.

What kind of money did this guy make before he had to "slum it" in a house and neighborhood most people would kill for?

It really made the family not relatable at all.

Have you ever noticed that the people who say "DC is for adults and Marvel is for kids", are kids?

Yeah. That was ridiculous. I don't even have anything to add.

I juste commented on this very subject. It looks like we're all in agreement that their "income" didn't match their lifestyle or their attitude regarding it.

If you watch closely, the last shot of family driving away laughing at Realtor is actually them laughing at fooling her into thinking that they can afford a new house.

Basically, they now spend their time as a family, trolling these people. They now live in the slums, under a bridge somewhere.
