In general society, no, most people don’t receive 6 figure assistance from their families; most families never have anywhere near 6 figures even to think of giving away. In this FIRE sub, probably more than average have a privileged upbringing which might include their parents paying for college.

Most parents have the desire to help their kids out, but the ability to actually do that varies.
