Episode 2686:
J.D. Roth delves into the emotionally charged issue of whether or not to provide financial assistance to adult children, using a reader's personal dilemma as a springboard. Through insights from personal experiences and expert research, Roth explores the fine line between helping and enabling, offering thought-provoking perspectives on financial independence, responsibility, and the potential pitfalls of economic support.

Quotes to ponder:
"The more dollars adult children receive, the fewer they accumulate, while those who are given fewer dollars accumulate more."
"Giving adult children financial support is, generally speaking, a bad idea."
"What is the effect of cash gifts that are knowingly ear-marked for consumption and the propping up of a certain lifestyle? We find that the giving of such gifts is the single most significant factor that explains lack of productivity among the adult children of the affluent."
