Son is 18. That’s about $43.5k USD. For reference, I earn ~9000 lei per month, and that’s considered a very good salary here. There are still people working for ~2500 lei a month. Son forgot to close this Revolut tab on the living room PC, that’s how I came across it.
Yikes. That’s a LOT of money to be received ~weekly from an international source.
That means this has been going on for 2-4 months
This amount of money is likely to be reported to tax authorities if it hasn’t been already.
Is your son a talented artist of some kind? Musician? Video editor? Anything that might get them a contract job online that could be billed in different amounts each week? (A typical job would pay the same amount every week, whereas if they’re billing for “hours worked” it will be different each time)
I’m trying to be as generous as possible with explanations but I think you are right to be concerned (unless your son has a reason he would hide money from you, like a history of having his possessions disrespected or taken from him)
The only talents my son has are his looks and personality. Which makes me inclined to believe my wife’s sugar baby theory. Either way guess we won’t know until we ask him.
