[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s the point of accumulating so much wealth if you won’t help your kids with it? You can help financially in ways that help her gain independence, which would absolutely include a used car, and maybe a work appropriate wardrobe, WiFi and cell phone plan so she can keep applying to jobs, a grocery budget to buy healthy food… no one is able to be 100% financially independent the day they graduate school without serious struggle and relying on ramen![/quote]

100% This is the part I don't get.  I have young kids but already heavily saving for their college and beyond- that's what I work for. My parents did the same for me ( and have already contributed lots to my children's 529), and my grandparents did the same for them ( and their children and grandchildren).  Intergenerational wealth is the true privelege of being financially comfortable that helps future generations- well more than the private hs you chose you to pay for. Our HHI is half yours and I can't comprehend what you're doing with all that extra.  I sincerely hoping you're using it to help someone if it's not the daughter you hate.  [/quote]
