Recently heard of a case of super-sized financial support for someone’s college grad: Bought a house in a high cost of living area – a cash buy and the “kid” is likely not asked to contribute any because the income is quite low.
For a couple of other cases that I happen to be aware of, at least the “kid” had to pay the mortgage every month (albeit the contribution from the parents for the down payment is likely 40+% because the pay just out of college is not high enough (and the credit score also) to justify the purchase of a condo worthing almost half a million dollars.)
Just point out there are some very “lucky” kids out there. I am not jealous.
Maybe a few (likely not that many?) parents in the following thread could be capable of such financial support to their loved one also: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parent-cafe/1651226-how-much-do-you-think-you-need-to-retire-and-at-what-age-will-you-and-spouse-retire.html#latest
