Do your parents still support you financially...

Not really. They send me money sometimes but not on a regular basis.

I told them I am grown up and they don't need to send me anymore money, but they never seem to listen 😛
 
Yep...I don't know, I come from a comfortable background, I don't mind my parents supporting me. I know it won't last forever, but I'm still enjoying it. I have a great relationship with them too, which is more than i can say for most "young" people nowadays. I should earn enough this summer to pay for my "habits" (cars, computers, HT, clothes, girls), and still have enough leftover to pay for housing or part of my tuition. We'll see.

Nope. My dad cosigned a couple of loans for me. That's about it.

If your dad co-signed a couple of loans for you, then if you default on the loan, he's financially responsible, you should thank him IMHO 🙂
 
I have a weird situation.
College graduate, with a good full time job. I can and do pay my own bills, take care of my family etc. But, my grandparents are pretty well off, so they help us out as well. They dont have to, we dont ask them to, they do it just cause they know it helps, and to kinda give us a head start on things.

So, do they help? Yes. Do they have to? No.
 
yea - I'm out of college, and have a job I really like, but it doesn't pay me enough to live in LA. It's not a great situation, but to share an apartment around here would be 50% of my takehome salary, for a crappy place. They let me live at home. I help out with bills and food, like cable and internet bill and some others. So I'm not mooching complete, but they're doing me a huge favor. I've got a good relationship with them, so it's not so bad.

You should thank them like I do on a daily basis The Dancing Peacock, because whether or not you want the help, you and I are both thankful for the "assistance." 🙂

Why not do something really nice with the money... Maybe save it up and buy your parents something that they wouldn't buy for themselves. 🙂

Kudos to those who appreciate their parents support! Too often we see posts on here about kids who are whining because of some luxury their parents won't provide.

As for me... No my parents don't support me financially. At almost 35 years old, that'd be pretty damn embarrassing. 😱
 
yeah my mom pays my tuition only a couple grand a year because of scholarships and financial aid

and i live at home for the summer

i am paying for rent at least and try to help out when im at home

yea, when I was like 16, I thought my parents didn't know sh;t, amazing how much they've learned since then 😉


Zim - I bought them a nice Tv a few months back when theirs went kaput. I owed my dad some money, but I shelled out a little more and got them a nice one. They were pretty happy.
 
Yes, babysitting and helped out with the mortgage and miscellaneous things.

We provided them with grandchildren ... so it's a fair exchange I figure. 🙂
 
My parents worked like slaves to help my sorry ass much longer than they had any obligation to. This has saddled me with a tremendous amount of guilt, and as a result my lone remaining goal in life is to one day write them a check they can retire on.
 
I am pretty much independant, I live on my own and handle my own expenses, but my parents have been gracious enough to help me out with my college tuition. My only regret is that it wasn't until the last couple years did I realize all they gave up for me when they didn't have to.😱
Thanks Mom and Dad!

My dad knew what kind of hours I worked. I paid the loans off a year early each time. I do thank him for it though. It benefited him too though, with a car, I had no excuse not to be on my own, paying my own rent...

😛
 
Its cool if your parents can help


Unfortunately mine don't and my dad still had the nerve to claim me on his taxes the other year, so I dont even get a break when it comes to financial aid.
 
Yes, they still do. I'm in college and they'd rather help me out rather than having a job during the school year. Over the summer, I live at home and work full-time. So yes, they still support me.
