[quote=Anonymous]I took money from my parents.  About $125K in total that went to our down payment.  It has allowed me and my husband (who also has a modest trust fund from his family) to live a comfortable life despite working in fields with modest salaries. I work as a legal aid attorney and my husband works in a similar field. Honestly, I get why others find taking the money distasteful, but I don't regret the decision to accept the money.  My parents continue to give us generous gifts, but at this point we don't assume the gifts are coming.  We are grateful for their generosity while being financially independent at this point.     If the money stopped now, we'd be fine.

The one thing that the money does for me is mean that without hesitation, I will be responsible for my parents when they age.  I would have been no matter what, but my parents have made explicit to me that this is their expectation.  That is fine with me, as I would have accepted this responsibility even without the money.
