[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That thread is depressing. Neither DH or myself come from means and we definitely will not be fully funding our children’s education. We hope to able to help with larger expenses but without generational wealth it’s hard to imagine gifting our kids thousands of dollars for weddings, down payments, etc.[/quote]

Well if it makes you feel better, I don’t think those generational wealth transfers necessarily lead to better families or happier kids. I personally think it’s more important to figure out how to be an emotional support and a safe harbor for your kids than to be able to give them hundreds of thousands of dollars. Your kids will likely Gtown up to be able to financially support themselves. They might have to make tough choices at times but they will likely be able to work and save.

But it’s very hard for someone to create the sense of family love and belonging that they didn’t get from their parents. It truly is priceless. You might not be able to gift your kids a nice house, but you can gift them the knowledge that they are loved and always have a place of acceptance in your family. That worth a lot more in the long run.[/quote]
