What You Don’t Know…
They say what you don’t know can’t hurt you, that ignorance is bliss, which is why some people keep secrets from their loved ones in order to protect them. We’re not sure this is the case here, though. In this case, Kristen didn’t want to tell her father how much her rent was, since she knew he’d be upset about the unreasonably-steep prices.
Sometimes, people are willing to pay higher prices to live in exciting cities – like New York, or in hip neighborhoods, and our parents don’t necessarily agree with this priority. In this scenario, we completely understand her for not telling her family. If all it’s going to do is stir up controversy, it’s best to leave it unsaid. NYC is a popular area, so the cost of living is going to be pretty high. We’re happy that she gets to be where she grew up!
