[quote=Anonymous]they have helped along the way - a few hundred here and there just because, help with plane tickets to visit family, that kind of thing.  My aunt and mom bought the small condo I lived in for a while and I paid rent to them (covered the mortgage plus a little) and they covered the condo fee and any maintenance costs.

We try our best to live within our means and to be responsible for our own expenses/debt.  We know our families would help us in case of emergency and like to help when they know things are a bit of a stretch.

This is going to sound awful, but my grandma passed this year right around the time my husband found out his dad has cancer.  My parents have been very generous in paying for his and our plane tickets to visit since it has been more than usual and comes at a time when money is REALLY tight for us.  They probably wouldn't be able to be so generous without the inheritance money, though.

My IL's have helped my BIL too much, though, and he has sucked them dry.

I don't think it is awful to accept help from family every once in a while, but to basically live off your family's generosity is the other end of the spectrum.
