[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is such a thing called adulthood. A 30 year old is not a child and is capable and responsible for building their own life. 
Buying a house, a 500k one, is most certainly not a NEED. It is subsidizing the lifestyle of an adult who has not made the sacrifices or life choices necessary to afford it.

I will also add that most of the professional couples i know, who make OPs HHI, have had a tremendously stressful and grueling life to be able to reach and maintain that income level. I would be pissed if my parents showed such preferential treatment.

I second the opinion about such professional couples leading grueling lives. I used to work in Biglaw. It was incredibly stressful and I spent a lifetime working on academics and then a top law school to get there. I can understand being pissed if parents tried to so to speak prop up or even inadvertently reward a history of underachieving behaviors. 50k is not a large amount and the OP is not saying she wants the same amount. She is asking a general question, is that a fair thing to do? [/quote]
