The report said 59 per cent of retirees report helping their non-student adult children with both day-to-day expenses and big-ticket items like home purchases.
My father makes more retired than I do working full time.
That is straight up depressing
Op should have tried harder to be born earlier in time.
Pull your time machine up by your bootstraps you lazy millennials. /s
Heh. After Dad died, my Mom shacked up with a guy we met while Dad was in the hospital. He went to the same high school as me, the same year I did. He’s lazy, broke, bipolar and unmedicated by choice - and a rabid far-right conspiracy theorist… So technically, she’s supporting an adult child.
I’m doing just fine, thanks. :D

I cannot fathom why you wouldn’t consider that support. It is by definition. I think the problem is you consider support a negative for some reason. You’re supposed to support your family there’s nothing wrong with it.

I don’t see what that has to do with anything in either of our comments.
I’m also still not seeing why you immediately assume negative connotations.

Socialism exists
Gen X: Perhaps I treated you too harshly
That’s somebody saying that to Gen X right?
I’m saying that Gen X is realizing it wasn’t as evil as they were taught
Boomers are too far gone
Millennials already are commies
I don’t think Gen X ever let anyone convince them they’re evil 🤷♂️
And they are minimally obligated to do so considering they’ve hoarded such a gigantic portion of the economy
It is funny because in something like 30 years, it will be children that will provide financially to their 80-90yo parents
My wife and I are providing for my MIL (aka she is living with us and not working) and she has barely cracked 60.
She does provide some childcare for us, but man is she lazy as shit while doing so… Just throws on TV and screws around on her phone. Somehow my wife can’t even work full time despite the fact that her mother is home almost all the time, that’s how bad it is.
Exactly the same happens in several countries . It’s a global crisis
