I agree with the independence bit, as far as adulting goes. I don’t see how helping your child, if he is doing what he is supposed to be doing, works against that. In my view, it builds up intergenerational wealth. One of the reasons why Asians have surpassed everybody is because they concern themselves with ensuring the best to their children so the parents can eventually be taken care of.
I think the idea of cutting your children off, the very second they turn 18 and expect them to shoulder $200,000 loans works against their ability to succeed, even if they do become successful they might have become more successful if they weren’t having to handle that completely themselves. Whites are losing ground, when compared to Asians or East Indians, who don’t view the idea that they should cut off their children the moment they turn 18.
No one is talking about cutting children off. I am talking about families who expect their children to take on adult responsibilities. No one is talking about taking on 200K loans, I am talking about young people who stairstep their educations responsibly.
Whites are losing ground to Asians not because of that is going on at the college levels. they are losing ground because of the dogs breakfast they have made of raising children at the pre school and primary levels, the lack of education and lack of socialization. At the college level Whites lose to Asians because whites NO LONGER TRIBE. Big mistake. The white tribes were apparent into the 90s and are totally gone. Everyone else tribes.
