[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does everyone on here who plans to generously support their adult children have their spouse's complete agreement on this point?  I see this is becoming a point of contention in our marriage,  and it may even be something worth divorcing over. If one spouse wants to give away a lot of money while the other wants to hold on to enough assets to ensure a comfortable, secure retirement, then the spouse who doesn't want to give away money yet has to file for a divorce and protect their half, right?  In our case, there are also elderly family members taking money, and the total spending rate, once you add on pricey adult-kid stuff like a home down payment or an expensive wedding, would definitely be negative, and I see it coming like a train wreck.

Pp who gives for specific items. Yes, we are in complete agreement because, otherwise, it wouldn't be happening. We always discuss any major expenditures. We both grew up in frugal middle class homes where parents eventually could afford an UMC life when we were out of the house. So our tendency is to be careful. [/quote]
