[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, we did not get any help from our parents. Bought a 1.1 million dollar home and put $200,000. I’m proud of us![/quote] Are you saying that you'd be less proud of your parents helped you? Why? What else should rich parents do with their money?[/quote] What is there to be proud of if your parents helped? If they earned it themselves, they accomplished a difficult goal. If you’re parents give it to you, you didn’t have to do anything for it or put work or effort towards it. [/quote] What are you talking about? You still have to have a good job and make good money and have good credit to qualify for a mortgage for a decent house. So, yea, nothing to be proud of if the parents give you a house, but if they help with a down payment? Of course it's still something to be proud of.[/quote] I don’t think it’s the same. Especially if you personally didn’t have the cash for the full down payment yourself. (from your career, not additional help from parents) [/quote] Interesting. Because I sure do. I have hardworking kids who have always done everything right, so yeah I've helped them with down payments and think they should be proud. If they were deadbeats I'd never have done it. I'm also proud of MYSELF that I was able to help. My own parents couldn't. Don't be jealous of people with more money than you.[/quote] You’re assuming they have more money. I own a 2m home with no help. They might be hardworking but surely you can see why someone who saved $200k+ with no help should be prouder? It’s more of an accomplishment. It just is. [/quote]
