[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A better question would be how many people are actually just given like a $500K house??  Is that even a thing?[/quote]
I had a coworker whose parents bought him a $500k townhouse with cash. They also buy him a luxury vehicle every few years. It happens. [/quote]

It happens but not in any regular middle class world. Issues/disabilities aside, it is a from background of financial privilege to be gifted an entire house. Regular middle class people aren’t even gifted down payments no matter how [b]much people on here pretend it is a middle class thing. These are UMC and Upper class things.[/b] [/quote]

Mmm, I do think this is fairly common place. And fairly trad middle class. [/quote]

No way is the gift of a large down payment a fairly commonplace middle class thing. Just no way. No one in my middle class world got any down payment help from their parents at all.

The only people I know who got that kind of help were definitely upper middle class at the least. They had very different financial backgrounds than my middle class family had.

I can’t believe people would think that that kind of down payment help is a middle class thing. Maybe it’s people who are actually upper middle class but like to think of themselves as “just middle class.”
