[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I’ve provided financial help as soon as I started making money.[/b] My Asian immigrant parents sacrificed to educate me. It was not support for them to have essentials they couldn’t cover but to give them a little extra breathing room like being able to travel, having a better cell phone plan, etc… In 20 years, I’ve given probably an amount in the low 6 figure range. Thankfully, we have the income to do that. I do not expect my children to do the same. [/quote] Would it have killed you to wait until you were 35?[/quote] No, but there was an “expectation” from my parents to start helping once I started making money. Sometimes it has led to conflict over the years. I have a special needs child diagnosed a few years ago and that is when the support and expectation decreased considerably. [/quote]
