  • I feel like they need to break this down by age a lot more than they do.

    In today’s day and age, it’s perfectly normal for a parent to offer significant financial support to their 20 year old child. While adulthood technically begins at 18, society is structured in a way that encourages some form of education/training through the rest of our teens and early twenties. A lot of this time adults in that situation will be setting themselves up for success, but not in a position where they currently have meaningful income. Parents helping out enables them to lay the groundwork for being independent later on in life.

    On the flipside a 30 year old receiving relying on their parents is a wtf moment 9/10.

    Another consideration is independent adults moving in with their parents for the purpose of acting as a caregiver. While that’s a problem for society, it’s a completely different problem than adults needing parental contributions to survive.
