Are American parents unintentionally crippling their grown children with financial handouts? In this eye-opening episode, we dive into the shocking statistic that 50% of U.S. families give their adult children up to $1,400/month in allowance—long after they’ve left childhood behind. From $37 weekly Starbucks runs to total financial dependence, we expose how this trend is hurting, not helping. Ben shares a personal story of how not receiving financial handouts built the grit and independence that today’s young adults are missing.
Perfect for parents, financial planners, and anyone rethinking what "helping" really means.
