The only ones I know were immigrants who brought their parents to the US later - mainly for childcare.

You have a large circle of rich friends.

Yes I know several people. I’d say at least 1/4 of my peers have financial help going to parents in some fashion. Most of them are white Americans.


What about of those between 30 and 40?

How do you know they don’t? I have a large circle too but most of them I have no idea their financial details or whether or not they send financial help to relatives.

You may have a large circle, but it’s certainly not a diverse circle. At all.

It seems to be pretty common on here for adult children in their 30s, and even mid-to-late 20s to be giving financial help to their parents.
