[quote=Anonymous]I am generally someone who believes in financial independence after college. I never took any money from my parents when I was in my 20s and struggling, unemployed, under employed, having to go into debt for car repairs, etc. As I got older, I didn't take any money toward childcare or a downpayment on my home. My parents aren't wealthy like you're talking about, but they do just fine for themselves, have a very secure and comfortable retirement, and could have easily spared $50k toward a downpayment for me, but I'm an adult, I handle my own finances.

If my husband died suddenly tomorrow, my parents would be writing checks left and right and I would be so bereft, and so grateful, and of course I would take their money. And of course they would give anything I needed. A young husband dies leaving young children! That's a moment for loved ones to rally, in every way, including financially.

So of COURSE you're disappointed, the fact that he's not offering when he's worth $30m (!!) is absurd, and you're not being selfish or unreasonable.
