comes from robert in texas my wife and i put our kit our children through college bought them cars

and provided them for them till they moved out to this day we still pay their phone bills

in spite the fact that our oldest child is a doctor and our youngest is a manager for a high-end retail company. Both earned six-figure salaries due to unforeseen

circumstances. We were hit with two natural disasters last year, a flash flood and a fire to our

home. We didn't have flood insurance, but we're able to cash flow the repairs for the flood and are deductible for the fire.

We currently only have three debts, two vehicles, which replace the ones that we lost in the flood, and our mortgage is $47,000.

Even though our children earn four to five times what we make, they say, according to your teachings, in parentheses,

they have no obligation to help us. They have told us, well, Dad, Dave Ramsey says,

to allow you to sink or swam because your debt is your obligation. Are we wrong to ask them

for help, or are they interpreting your advice incorrectly?

Wow.

Okay.

It doesn't sound like they're seeing.

First thing is, it's weird when you pay your grown kids bills of any kind including their phone bill

and you know whose fault that is robert yours you should have cut that off when they left

home i don't pay rachel's dadgum phone bill i don't pay her netflix bill

denise does have those netflix password though, I didn't give it to her.

That's besides the point.

That's not the point.

So that's thing one.

Thing two, Robert, when you raise children and as part of raising them, you buy them a car and pay it for their college.
