Nailed it.  Big families that buy their children houses, etc.  WTH?  How on earth is that teaching them anything?  It hurts far more than it helps, I can tell you first hand. [/quote]

LOL this is delusional.  Of course having help with a house purchase[b] helps[/b]![/quote]

Maybe?  I may be unusual but I don’t want money from my parents. [b] I like that my husband and I have done everything on our own and on our own terms.  Our parents did pay for college in full.[/b]  I do get concerned about inheritances.  We both stand to inherit decent estates (a few million each) but will figure that out when the time comes.

Lmao. Oh, honey.[/quote]

I know.  I’m so glad my parents waited until they were married to have children, stay married and valued education.

FWIW, culturally most UMC children do have their college paid for.  Part of being a responsible adult is paying for your child to go to college. [/quote]

That may have been “culturally” true a few decades ago but not anymore. Loans, loans, loans.[/quote]
