As much as I can afford and still be able to retire in comfort.

So it's not about grand (stupid) principles of whether kids should pay their own way. It's strictly about my own finances and what I can afford. I will always help my kids if I can. Thankfully my husband agrees with me.

Amazing how so many people act as if it's impossible to spoil adult children.  Then you [b]end up with people like Trump[/b] "succeeding" in life and have to deal with their petulant, emotionally underdeveloped personalities that directly result from them never having to earn anything.[/quote]

Way to go nuclear!  If you pay for your kids grad school/down payment, they will end up like Trump!![/quote]

Great job completely missing the point.  The point is that you end up with a country full of people who will vote for Trump, because apparently the ideal president is someone who inherited a famous name and a shitload of money without having to work for it.  The foundation of American values is now selfishness: divorce your wife and get a new young one whenever you want, grab em by the p****, say whatever you want whenever you want, do whatever you want.  It's everyone for themselves at this point--zero national identity, zero concern about the future for kids/grandkids (because no one has any and the deficit is too big to fight now anyway).

But hey, at least you have you internet, Netflix, and your own shitty personality to live with.  Surely that will replace community, faith, family values, etc., right?[/quote]

Cool, go ahead and live by your values.  Tell your kids that you are going to help them because you don't want them to turn out like Trump.  Me?  I'm going to take that risk and help them as much as I can.[/quote]
