    it is okay to help but at the same time it sucks you have to do that because life is so economically insecure now that adult children cannot survive without that help.

    In my own situation, my partner has a 25-year-old son who has autism and cannot be financially independent. We finance his $2,200 apartment (which is standard cost in our expensive city) because on his own he’ll never be able to do that . This will directly impact our own finances for the foreseeable future.
