[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a divorced parent ($250k income) of an employed recent college graduate. I'd prefer to just give DC the annual gift tax exemption ($15k) but DC doesn't want any support for basic living expenses, despite pursuing a field with very low starting salaries. I'd rather help her live better now than wait until after I'm dead. I have and continue to contribute as much as allowed into a Roth for DC and keep DC on my health plan. DC also uses all my streaming accounts and periodical subscriptions. DC's other parent ($500k+ income) helped with lease security and covers the cell phone. [/quote] Yes, if you have the $$$ to give and want/are able to help your grown kids, why not help them while you are alive? Yes, my kids can function on their own, but as long as they are working hard and "could manage alone" why would I not make life easier for them? No point in giving them $5M when I die if I can help make a better life for them now. [/quote]
