I’ve seen clip of that financial advice show “The Ramsey show” on YouTube and the things that old man say are shocking to me. According to him I shouldn’t give a single cent to my parents… That’s so against my culture. I would be seen as downright evil if I do that.

Hell I’m unemployed for like a year by now and still sent 200 euro a few months ago to my father that still lives in my home country that I haven’t seen in 17 years.

Are you really Americans like that? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t see it as cold hearted but I see it as unnatural, and I’M a “socialess” cold person in essence.

    Okay so are you wanting to just seem superior to those who would rather us all pay our own bills? Because you don’t always have to be a psychopath to prefer that. If my parents needed it, I would help them. But I don’t understand why you’re asking this here this way as though there is one situation or attitude in a country of hundreds of millions of citizens. Like everyone else, we’d hope our parents can cover their own costs, but most of us would help if they can’t.
