Why are so many parents financially supporting their adult children?
How much is too much when it comes to the financial support of adult children?
With the rising cost of living, more parents are supporting adult children for longer.
One recent survey from Pew Research Center found a third of people in their early 30s received financial help from their parents.
Many parents struggle with where to draw the line between helping and enabling. How do parents support grown children in ways that help them move forward, toward a secure financial future?
And how can parents make sure they’re not putting their own financial future at risk by supporting their grown sons and daughters?
Coming up at 9 a.m. on Monday, MPR News host Angela Davis talks about parenting, adult children and money.
And we want to hear from you, too.
Are you a young adult who receives financial support from a parent, or did you in the past? How has that affected your relationship and other aspects of your life? If you’re a parent, are you paying for some of your adult child’s expenses? Why and how do you decide what expenses to cover?
Call 651-227-6000 or 800-242-2828 during the 9 a.m. hour.
