[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why aren't the kids already set up to do well financially at that age? I wouldn't even have to ask my kids if they have money. I would know that they do.
I set my kids up financially, but not like handing money, but to teach them to invest and be financially responsible with their own money since elementary shcool.
18 - year old just went to beach with his friends and saved up for it.
In late 20s, they will be treating me.[/quote]

umm most 28-30 yo are just starting out, and might still be saving for a house, budgeting for one vacation a year, and might not have $3-4K in the budget for a destination wedding.  Doesn't mean they are not doing well financially.  If anything, the ones who say "no" might be the most fiscally soudn

Also, parents don’t get to tell grown children what luxuries to buy.[/quote]

No they do not.  This isn't about a parent telling their kids "you will pay for the luxury destination wedding yourself and you will attend", it's about the parent saying "hey if you want to attend cousin X's wedding, we'd love to help out and pay for your airfare and hotel" [/quote]
