[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we can all agree, at least, that anyone that accepts a handout, gift, or other measure of help without providing something of commensurate value in return is a total piece of trash. So, it’s okay to accept a $5M inheritance to buy a home…so long as you turn around and pay that forward by donating $5M of your own to a charitable organization, for example. This is what most people do, or at least I would assume. I can’t imagine a society so broken down where this wouldn’t be the norm?[/quote] Pay it forward, yes - but not necessarily in that way. We do donate to charity but the way I think of paying it forward is through the generations. So we accepted all the help of college, grad school, wedding, downpayment, etc, and we will do the same for our children. And I hope they will do the same for theirs.[/quote]
