[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We spent a couple of years in a nice new-build apartment and were really shocked at how, at 35, we felt like the oldest people there.  I heard several conversations in the elevator about getting money from parents so I assumed that was bankrolling most of these kids in 3K+ digs.  I lived like a pauper at 22, only to finally live in a "nice" building in my mid-thirties and be surrounded by kids.  Boo, get off my lawn.[/quote]

This. NP here. I feel like posting this is pointless, because I'll be shouted down by the same five posters who INSIST that there are gazillions of 22 year olds in the self-sufficient and high earning boat, but these are exceptions and not the "rule".  It is astounding how many millennials I know who are supported (either partially or exclusively) by their parents.

May are VERY coy about it.  Over the years, I've heard plenty of people let little comments slip in passing or while drunk.  Kind of similar to how I heard a low-earning friend mention that she wanted to have a conversation with her parents about switching Larlo's private school.  (Well, if you're paying for it, why would you consult anyone else?)  These things often have a way of coming out over time.

It is what it is.  If I'm able to help my kids in their 20s, I will.[/quote]
