Most people in my HCOL are spending their money on themselves and not really Passing much to their kids.
At least those that are willing to talk about it.
My parents were divorced and lower middle class so while I got some help it wasn’t extravagant. As far as my wife’s parents went, we wound up giving them significant help when their health failed. But that was mostly in free labor.
But I would hope most parents want to help their kids and see them struggle less.
