[quote=Anonymous]I agree it is not failure to launch and it is financially savvy, but it is a little weird. Seems like an extension of helicopter/overbearing parenting. Doesn’t even one of those kids *want* some independence? To have experiences of living with roommates, taking care of your own place, having friends over, having relationships where the SO can spend the night? Or is life just about earning money and socking it away? Personally if I really wanted to encourage retirement savings, in lieu of this arrangement I would rather work out a deal with my kids where they send me proof of their contributions to retirement accounts and I transfer the same amount to them.
