Someone a few days ago (thus many, many pages ago) asked a question that I don't recall anyone following up on.
Q: Did Nick ever buy his kids typical rich kid items?
The one that sticks out to me was him buying an old fire truck for the kids to play on? To be fair, I only remember seeing a pic of one part of it, so it may have been a husk heading for scrap metal. But my recollection was that it was not cheap and Nick was flexing about it? Don't know that he spoiled them with other items though. For example, all of them having Ipads just seems like a typical education expense for a quasi-homeschool group like they are in.
Also, a thought just occurred to me now that we now know how much of a liar Nick can be:
Do we really know that his version of "got fired from a bank" is true? I remember him telling it as "some guy was looking weird at me during an office meeting, then I was fired". Implication was that Nick was not trusted in the bank for some unimaginable reason, but he was unfairly treated. I trusted Nick's version at the time as I just saw him as "lawyer guy who reads Greer's book" and didn't know how funny and weird things were going to get. I never liked him that much even then, but I never thought he was lying about those kinds of life details. Now I view him as veering into Bex or Henry Rollins "Liar" levels of lying.
Sorry if this was dissected for 20 pages many years ago, I have read more of this thread than most Kiwis, but 9k is a fucking lot of pages, even using highlights.
