    What’s wrong with that? Parental responsibility doesn’t just end the moment a child turns 18

    I never asked my parents for money, they just ended up giving it to me for my future

      What’s wrong with that?

      Doesn’t it seem a little unfair if ones ability to own land is dictated by the lottery of what their parents have achieved?

      This could be the beginning of a slow slide back towards feudalism and lords with no social mobility for the lower classes.

        Is it unfair that having wealthy parents gives you an advantage in life?

        Yeah, it is… buy that doesn’t make it unethical for parents to help their kids, it means the society has to improve the safety net.

          That’s the wrong message that you are getting out of that article. The problem is that more and more people need their parents help to get in the market.

          That trend means that at one point, help from parents will be obligatory to buy a first house, closing the market to anyone that doesn’t have rich parents.
