[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know people (30 plus) whose parents are paying for their down payment, co signing mortgages, paying for their grandkids braces, daycare, vacations, ivf, co signing on cars etc. a lot of these people would never admit to how much parental help they are getting despite having “good” jobs. [/quote]

Wait, all of these people don’t “admit it” how do you know this?

Much of my life is funded by the wealth of previous generations. If anyone asked I would readily admit it, but it’s not like I volunteer that information because that is weird if nobody asked.

NP- I know about people like these because of my mil: her friends tell her (they brag really!) about all the help and money they have given their kids, down to the details.[/quote]

Ok but how do you know these people won't admit it?[/quote]

Ime people do not like to mention their parents help them. I'm also not questioning people about it for them to "admit" it to me![/quote]

Then you are assuming the rest. How would you know if the grandparents are paying for their kids' braces, IVF, downpayments, vacations, daycare and autos?  That's not public information and you said they're not sharing it. You sound like a bitter, envious person. Why are they friends with you?[/quote]
