Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.getrichslowly.org/giving-money-to-adult-children/ Quotes to ponder: "The more dollars adult children receive, the fewer they accumulate, while those who are given fewer dollars accumulate more." "Giving adult children financial support is, generally speaking, a bad idea." "What is the effect of cash gifts that are knowingly ear-marked for consumption and the propping up of a certain lifestyle? We find that the giving of such gifts is the single most significant factor that explains lack of productivity among the adult children of the affluent."
