[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in a house with a lot of love but not a lot of money. In adulthood my husband and I have had to financially support ourselves in every major life step we took. Putting ourselves through school, paying for our own wedding, saving for a house and everything in between.

It is difficult as we do not have a safety net and requires a lot of self discipline and requires for us to keep tight fisted all the while watching rich people in the DMV live lavish lives.

When I see my colleagues or friends who were lucky enough to be born into families that are financially secure, I envy them. It must be so nice to be taken care of and have a financial safety net as you navigate your way into adulthood.

It is also a parents biological imperative to provide as comfortable and safe a life for their offspring. If the means are there, it is absolutely legitimate to support your children financially whenever needed.

Is this just jealous people who are upset they don't have this safety net?[/quote]
