However, the uncle was the one that paid for the vacation, as he had even more money.
I feel like I saw some BTS story about how the Home Alone canon was that it was in repayment for another vacation Kevin’s dad paid for.

His dad was an exec, and his mom was a fashion designer. They either alluded to, or outright said what his dad’s profession was, and the only reason to have those mannequins sitting around is if someone is designing clothing.
His parents had money.

According to everything I read his father was listed as a prominent man in business, but the script doesn’t go further than that. Yes, the script says the mother was a fashion designer, but doesn’t say for what company, or anything more specific than that.

They didn’t say more because it’s fashion you wouldn’t understand

It was also the 90s. To anyone who didn’t live it I can not overstate how many benefits the McCallister adults had. Not even from the government just the world. The Soviet Union had just collapsed, China hadn’t risen yet and Europe had just finally recovered from WWII. America was at the end of being uncontested internationally for 50 years and had another decade to go before it all starts to crumble. Being middle class in the United States meant you had a good paying job, not the single bread winner jobs of decades before but wayyy better than what most people are offered now. It was a very different time.

Ask any U.S. Boomer for career advice, and you’ll see how true this is. Who else was advised to “go straight to the boss” when applying for a job?
Double points if you were then directed to apply on a website.
Triple points if you told your parents that you had to do the entire process online, and they didn’t believe you.

Quadruple points if you had to upload a CV and then were required to enter all of the details into a form before you could submit.

Remember how Homer Simpson was supposed to be a loser? Owning a 2 story house in the suburbs and supporting a family of 5 on a single salary? The 90’s hit different.
