Are Your Kids Costing You Your Retirement?
Are you helping your kids at the expense of your own retirement?
You’re not alone, and the cost may be higher than you think. Studies show that nearly 27% of parents who financially support adult children delay retirement, while many sacrifice their own financial security to keep helping. From covering monthly bills to offering housing, the “Bank of Mom & Dad” has become a growing trend, but it can come with serious long‑term consequences.
