Do you survive because your parents planned for your financial needs?

I don't know how much they planned, but it was enough, if barely, sometimes.

They didn't have much to plan with

Yes. My parents ensured that my basic needs were met and that I have no student loan debt. I owe a lot to them.
I took care of my parents during their declining years and they gave me a house. I have worked on my own as well. My house was a godsend when I had my heart attacks.

They didn’t plan for my financial needs. Soon as I turned 18 I had to plan for my own financial needs

Pension and social security plus a savings was generated from my own effort

Yes in a way ... at first . My hubby however had a huge inheritance from his father ... so he really was set . We both are financially independent as a result of our work ethics and professions anyway . The other seems destined for our kids

No, because my parents insisted it get the work ethic, education and experience to fend for myself :). And not marry a gold digger. But I accept I had a good basis to start with, but they both grew up on farms so not like they had a silver spoon.

Nope, I made it on my own with no real help from them. Despite their efforts to ruin my credit.

I my parents provided for us growing up. But once I was 18 I took over from there and created my own stability.

Not at all I come from a poor family, there was no financial planning just survival.

No that's not why I survived but it really helped me in the long run

Never been given anything, I've worked for everything I have. I had to give money to my mother when I was a teen!

@HotPizza71 Why did you have to give money to your mother?
HotPizza71 · 51-55, M
@Nayla because she blew hers all the time, I saved! I soon moved out and stopped that!

They did their best but a few different unexpected things occurred so we had varying amounts of money growing up. It’s part of why I make so many plans for different possibilities now. And why I have done my best to become financially comfortable so if I get pregnant the offspring hopefully won’t suffer without due to my inability to provide properly.
