maybe school just isn’t for them.
If traditional college isn't for them, that's fine. But no urge to obtain certifications or any marketable job skills? Can't wrap my head around that one.

Helped my kids by giving them 20% down.
No sense in them having PMI. They’re getting what I leave anyway

She was 18 when she met her husband, New Year’s Eve, 2020. December of 2021, they were married, she was 19. We made sure they went to several pre-marital counseling sessions before we were ok with them getting married so young. January of 2023 our first grand daughter was born.

My kids are younger…but I will always be there for them.
Unless they turn out to be a bunch of drug addict thugs…then I’ll re evaluate.
But why wouldn’t I take care of them? I love these kids…they’re my children. I’d do whatever I can to help them while they’re getting their shite together. My parents did the same thing.

Got one that’s 20, one just about to graduate HS. I will cover their living expenses for 4 years of college (actually have the money for 5 but they don’t know that). Living expenses include rent, utilities, food. All in it’s about a grand a month per kid. This is as long as they are in school of some kind. Their tuition, books, etc is on them. So far the oldest has kept his scholarship and the youngest has even better scholarships. My parents never helped me at all and it sucked. As long as I can, I’ll always help my kids.

My kids are currently a daughter of 27 and son of 24. My daughter went to La Tech for two years but then transferred back home to LSUS and lived at home. She graduated after four years (couple of major changes) and got a job. Stayed living with us til she was 25 and then moved out when she got married.
My son lived at home for two years after graduating high school while he was working on getting his journeyman’s in plumbing. At 20 he decided he wanted to move out against my advice. I advised him to stay living at home and saving money until he completed his trade training and started making better money. He bought an $80k house in Blanchard and moved out. House needed work but had good bones. Helped him fix it up over the next few months. Actually turned out to be a great decision. He bought a 1200sf 3/1 house for $80k at 2% interest. His house note is like $475 a month. He is now making $28 hour and just married a girl that is a dental hygienist making about $65k a year. With the overtime he works I think they made about $130k last year. They paid off all her student loans in one year and are just going to bank a shite ton of money until the housing market gets a little better.
Proud of both my kids. Was willing to assist both of them as they were working towards getting done what they needed to be able to get good jobs. As soon as they did, they both became self sufficient.

We're basically the only culture thsy doesnt do this.
I agree with you 100% but I also see the other side as well. Family is the most important thing outside of god if thats your thing or not.
Have to watch who iI may offend

We have 2 boys, ages 30 & 23.
Oldest learned a trade and is financially sound.
Youngest graduates this May & already had a job secured last summer. He too will be set financially.
So no, our 2 boys do not financially depend on us.
