The Realist Perspective
Superstar
As a parent why is your child entering adulthood and going out on their own with zero? You were supposed to be building a nest egg so each subsequent launch of the next generation starts a little better off than you each time.
Me personally and probably like a lot of Americans, I started out with zero. My parents didn’t help me with anything.
When I left their house I paid my way through school. Paid my rent. Bought all my cars. Everything. Zero nest egg. Investments to pass on to me, nothing.
I’m grateful for all they did for me as a kid but that’s the first half of being a parent. Why is your kid starting from zero? This starts people at a disadvantage of those mindful parents to give like a gift of some sort and even additional help in their adulthood.
It’s hard out here. This is something I think on frequently. I was watching this Netflix comedy special, forgot his name but he’s middle eastern or Indian. But anyways he said all people from where he’s from’s parents make it clear you can always come back and live with us.
That safety net is probably the greatest relief in the world. I’d honestly love to go back to live with my parents. It would actually help me get footing and actually getting ahead in this bullshyt life where it seems I’m just treading water and the stacking is so much more slow.
What do you think?
is a parent that has their child leave their household with zero, neglecting their parenting duties?
What about the aspect of living with family and stacking money while at the same time contributing to the family household? This has been made not normal and frowned upon. Why?
