I completely agree with the above.
I haven’t given my salary to my parents ever since I moved out after college. My SO doesn’t give his salary to his parents either. He asks his dad for financial advice…but he has total control over his own money.
Besides, how will the guy and his wife teach their kids how to manage money if he keeps giving his full salary to his parents? What if something happens to the parents…what if one or both of the parents die all of a sudden? If the guy isn’t used to handling finances, it’ll be a disaster when all of a sudden he has to manage his own money when his parents die…no? What if there are siblings who do the same…is he 100% sure that his money is kept separately?
It seems ridiculous to me that a grown man (especially one with a wife and kids) has to ask his own parents for an “allowance”…
