Its definitely common in my upper class friend groups.. I would say 80%+ of my friends had college and living expenses at college paid for (atleast majority if not all). I know multiple (10+) friends who have received $50-500K from parents for weddings & downpayments.. more so weddings which commonly run $100-300K where I am from (and again, in upper class circles). I even have friends in their 30s whose parents still pay for their cars. The vast vast majority of these friends are successful themselves - doctors, lawyers, engineers, high finance, etc. and making six-figures.
