[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would a 30 year old send his parents money? [/quote]

Because he’s Asian. [/quote]

I sent money home to my mom and grandma when they were alive. I am Black and not an immigrant. OP, I don’t think DCUM is your crowd for this question. They were all born on second and third base, and their parents did not need their help. They were very fortunate  [/quote]

It’s cultural for sure.  My immigrant grandparents would have never taken money from my parents.  My parents were more well off than either of their parents and I have many memories of my grandfather showing up for visits with bags of things for us to stock up the basement - soap, toilet paper, any household goods he found on sale. These were before the Costco days.  On my moms side they were always giving us food.  It didn’t matter who made more financially, it was the parents job to take care of the kids.

Now I’m in that situation with elderly parents.  I have to sneak my credit card ahead of time if we go out to eat because my father won’t let me pay.  I could never send them money. We would if they ever needed help.  [/quote]
