Sorry, there must be more to it than that. Did you help them? Nothing wrong with that. My parents wouldn’t lend me $10,000 for a week when we put down our deposit on our first house although we had jobs. We had to borrow it from good friends - much to my embarrassment - who got it back in 7 days. They were Depression people and very tight with a buck.
Paid for college.Sacrificed so they didn’t have to work during school.First son had to get a loan for last year cause he went 5 years and # 2 was in first year.Told him it was good for his credit rating. Both graduated and secured jobs with Johnson & Johnson and GE.They didn’t major in Social Science as you can see.
