[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is support because your kid isn't self-sufficient and then there is transferring assets because you don't need the money and your kids will inherit it eventually anyway. [/quote]

Exactly!  Most on this site seem to be jealous of those in the 2nd position.[/quote]

Yeah, some are jealous and others simply do not like when those receiving asset transfers are unwilling to acknowledge that is a form of support.

DP - I think it’s ridiculous to criticize people for being jealous of those who receive a lot of financial support in adulthood.  Who wouldn’t want extra money you didn’t earn?  I’d love some.

That being said, it generally doesn’t bother me on a daily basis; DH and I and our family earn plenty.  But when people try to insist that they’re not being supported by their parents, when they actually are, it’s annoying.  Most of my friends receive some kind of financial assistance from their parents; very few claim it’s not actually helpful.  That takes a special kind of obnoxious.[/quote]
