#anyways had this thought because there's quite a few where ppl write the Fentons as broke

[vm-haunts]

Idk it's a weird headcanon, but...

The Fentons being simultaneously very rich but also broke as fuck.

The thing is, that lab of theirs is gonna cost a serious fortune, hence the actually very rich part. But at the same time, all that money is tied down as extremely specialized equipment and means jack shit in regards of say, paying for grocery, so it's pretty often that they struggle with cash.

Actually, this might even be somewhat canon, since they literally become millionaires when they sold the lab to GIW. It's not exactly a rags to riches moment even though it's portraited as one, because they already own that money, just not in a usable way.
