- Financial independence starts with big decisions
- Creates entitled expectations about future help
- If you can't afford it, scale down
Disagree
- Generational wealth transfer is perfectly healthy
- Cultural traditions matter more than balance sheets
- Parents want to celebrate their kids properly
- One gift doesn't define someone's financial competence
- Love languages include financial support sometimes
