[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]

RIGHT!! OP seems to have no concept of how a normal, loving family functions. A lot of people get help from their parents in their 20s and beyond, this is how generational wealth happens. Most people aren't just able to be fully self supporting directly out of college. My family has a fraction of OPs yearly income and in our 20s my parents help myself and my siblings out with things here and there. I've always had a great relationship with them and I've spoken to them on the phone at least once or twice a week since leaving for college, and get together with them frequently. When they need eldercare, my sibling and I will take good care of them. That is how family works. Will they be "pathetic" if they need our help when they get older??[/quote]
