And an entire generation of Americans who don’t even know how to tie their shoes.

I never dreamed I would still be partially supporting a 37 year old.

But here I am.

We do, for the grandkids and a few extras, and to be kind and loving. All of our kids are responsible and employed but this economy sucks Bath House Barry’s balls.

I’m a strong believer that multi generational living should make a huge comeback. Trying to convince my family even now. Everyone could save, everyone could relax a little, the kids would have lots of love and guidance, and we could beat the system. It’s what immigrants do and they are beating the pants off of Americans.

Just sayin.

The survey also found that each generation has varying ideas about when a young adult should begin paying their own bills. Older generations believe young adults should begin paying their bills “far earlier” that younger generations, the survey report states.

And all of the suggested ages they give are Way to old to begin. I had various jobs growing up starting at 10, Had to move out at 17 a couple months after High School ended, My brother and sister also had to do the same. Probably the best thing that can happen to a young man, Make it or Starve.

Families have always helped eachother out financially or otherwise. It is a sign of a healthy society. I for one wish to abolish the post-war nuclear family - and return to the extended family support networks we used to have.

More evidence of the mental health crisis in the US for young and older adults.

the ONLY financial sacrifice I have ever made, or will EVER make, is affording an extra body on my Payroll. If the adult child wants something, I’ll let them work for the money... never will I just cut them a check.

There’s a very fine line between helping your kids out and giving them hand outs. In general its best to let them struggle a little now and then so as to build confidence to handle life’s challenges on their own. Watching your kids grow into responsible adults is a very satisfying and rewarding thing, and ultimately a sign of parental success.

[Osage Orange]

Ha!! We Homeschooled our kids....at a “sacrifice”...But it was the best thing we did for them.

[MayflowerMadam]

Our parents never helped us financially. We have spent tens of thousands of dollars helping our parents.

I would’ve been a bag lady before even thinking of asking them for money.
