Few institutions are as generous, emotional, or enduring as the Bank of Mom and Dad.
In this episode of Life Chapters, Money Choices, Michael Avery and Kim Potgieter are joined by Financial Planning Specialist Tom Brukman for an honest conversation about the financial and emotional realities of supporting adult children.
From helping with university fees, rent, medical aid, and everyday expenses…
To recognising when support quietly becomes dependency…
To balancing the needs of adult children, ageing parents, and your own retirement security…
They explore why so many families find themselves caught between love, responsibility, and financial reality.
This conversation unpacks the hidden cost of ongoing support, the long-term impact on retirement security, and why money conversations within families are often the hardest to have.
Along the way, they reflect on the lessons children learn from watching their parents, the importance of transparency, and how well-placed boundaries can strengthen, rather than strain, family relationships.
Sometimes the most loving thing a parent can do is not give more.
It is helping their children build the confidence, independence, and resilience to create a life of their own.
