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."
