Who makes more money, you or your parents?

Three question marks and no answers. You remind me of the Rockets right now.

 

I make more money than my mom. My dad has maybe 15 rental properties so he might make more than me. I dont give them money to help them out because they dont need my help and i dont need theirs.

 

My view is skewed since I'm Asian, but why can't everybody help each other out?

Shouldn't be prideful when it comes to family, unless some family issue is evident.

 

I make more. I also don't think just giving money to family is always a good thing. "Helping" family out financially is often enabling some sort of bad behavior, and in the end can often strain relationships.

 

I'm 13 and my mum and dad give me a small weekly allowance. Sometimes when I wanna go to the movies they give me a bit more.

 

I make less. They don't throw dollars my way.

 

I make less, they are my employer....

 

More than my mom less than my dad. MUCH less than my dad. When I needed help in the past they've always been there for me. Thankfully that hasn't happned in several years and I hope that it never does again. But they do babysit thier 1.5 year old granddaughter on request, and that's priceless.

 

I do.

Me.



More than my dad and mom (combined), grandparents, brothers, cousins, wife, and children, but not more than my cousins, who are first generation from U.S. and A. and have superior education (but not experience) than me.

And, yes, I help them out.

 

I just graduated with an engineering doctorate this year and joined an oil company. My starting salary is well above average for my age. Although my dad doesn't have a doctorate, he's been with big oil for 30 years and been a high-level manager for 10+. So he still absolutely kicks my tail in income, but I'm certainly fine on my own without a handout.

 

Me now, since they're retired. But they made much more than me while they were working. My dad owned his own engineering firm. However, I'm proud to say I haven't borrowed money from my parents since I was in college 20 years ago.

My in-laws are multi-millionaires. FIL is a retired O&G trader who apparently did VERY well. Again, we've never borrowed a cent from them (aside from the free babysitting they provide for our bi-weekly date night!). We are very proud of that and hope to keep the streak alive indefinitely...

 

I make more at 40 than my Dad was making at his peak prior to retiring. I attribute it to their hard work in getting me through college and instilling a good work ethic in me early on. We're about even on who picks up the dinner tab when we get together...that's about the only money that changes hands between us.

 

I make more than my parents combined. I help them out regularly.

 

I make more but neither needs the others help.

 

I make way less.....

 

My idiot parents could be living it up but they made the terrible mistake of having a kid. Not making that mistake anytime soon.

 

Since my parents are dead, I guess I do, and that's an answer I'd rather not have to use.
