It’s your money. Do with it what you want. I’d rather see it go to a charity than be wasted by irresponsible people so they can party.
As far as your children and their adult decisions….those are NOT a result of their raising. They are a result of their own decisions. I get tired of adults using their parents/childhood as an excuse for bad behavior. What about the families that have multiple children. One is a successful businessman, the next is a struggling artist and one is drug addicted or alcoholic . They were each raised by the same parents. Each made their own decisions. The worst behaved wildest kids at my school, were the minister’s and the cop’s kids. The best kids were the ones raised by questionable parents.
In today’s world between the indoctrination at school, peer pressure and the internet telling them that housing , healthcare and 6 figure jobs are a right, it’d more surprising if they were grateful for the hard work you’ve put in to making your life what it is. Even if it was given to you, you’ve obviously kept a hold of it. No easy feat.
And having been raised myself by parents who survived the depression, frugality was (and is) a virtue. It is not your job to fund their chosen lifestyle. | |
