Financial family situation- should I worry?

I honestly don’t know where to talk about this. Or I don’t know if I’m ever allowed to talk about it.

My parents are working on buying a new house. They’re gathering a great amount of money for it, and my brother and I are super worried. My mother is like, “Don’t worry, we’re adults.” But aren’t we adults also? We have a right to worry.

My parents are asking my uncles, my grandmother- seriously everyone. I’m perfectly content at living in this house. We have a nice yard and everything is so close to nature. I’m worried that my parents are risking their financial situation to live in Seoul. The apartment is not even built and they’re working on paying for that already. They’re risking everything and we’re super worried. But we don’t want to say anything because of our culture- children should follow adults’ decisions.

We have two big things coming up: I’m due to enter into uni again (I got accepted) and my brother is due to enter into uni again as well (he also got accepted). Now they’re asking for my brother’s information (such as his citizenship card) and my brother is worried in case his information will be stolen by a company. We’re super worried and we don’t know what to do!

What would you do in this situation? Should we stop our parents from doing this, and find another way to get housing somewhere else?

I would tell them that putting any money on a place not even available yet is a horrible idea. Building companies stop mid construction and file bankruptcy, the uh lose that money.

I know you’re very into family and cultural customs, but it may be time to give them a real life lesson.

Probably not the answer you want to hear, but all you can do is voice your concern calmly and politely. There’s nothing you can do if they don’t heed your words.
I can see that you worried that they’re putting all their eggs in one basket and if it doesn’t work out what then. But there’s not much you can do.

I’ll just politely ask them about it and trust them. They said that if they do not succeed they can get their money back.

Ask them to sit down and talk about the financial costs and risks. I hope it works out. I’d be nervous too.
