Reply To: Married Lakewood kids want a down payment now!

mytake, Simple. Don’t put down the down payment if you can’t afford it……

Afford it? Am I allowed to have money for retirement years? Who should decide what we need and what we dont? The kids feel they have a right to decide how much we neeed left. The kids want us to have the same Bitachon that the schools told them to have in married life, in regard to our retirement.

Im not alone at all! This is typical! I have many friends with badly wounded relationships with their married kids, because of finances.
