Yeah I told my parents when I started making six figures and the only thing that changed was now my dad doesn’t pay for all my food when I’m visiting.

My parents still insist on paying everything, and they earned relatively little in their lives.
They get pleasure out of treating you <3 I hope you can find ways to return the favor and spoil them without embarrassing them.
Before my father passed he still grumbled about me buying a meal and he was retired!
My parents will still try to pay for me sometimes, but my mom has venmo now so I can at least fire her whatever my costs were.

For all the weird shit I put up with in my family, at least money doesn't really come up as an issue in that sense.

Which, admittedly, is a real loss.
