[quote=Anonymous]Certainly 1. Grad school if it is a good future investment. House help maybe if they are financially responsible and it is a good investment. But it isn't just about being able to help without touching retirement. I would hesitate on over-subsidizing adult kids because you don't know what kind of elder care you or your spouse might need over and above regular retirement income. Full on memory care for Alzheimer's is extremely expensive and could last for years. I'd rather my children be assured that we have the resources to cover any elder care situation so that worry will never be on them. I also believe in targeting the adult-child subsidy---funding 529s for educating grandkids, e.g. Or help with starting a business. There has to be a purpose ---not interested in infantilizing grown adults to live beyond their means. [/quote]
