What if helping your adult children is holding them back?
In this episode, Dennis O’Keefe explores the tough reality many parents face: when does financial support cross the line into enabling? Drawing on personal stories and over 30 years of financial planning experience, Dennis unpacks why today’s 30-somethings are struggling with independence and how parents may be unintentionally making things harder.
From soaring housing costs to student loan debt, and from generational shifts to emotional decision-making, this episode offers perspective, clarity, and some hard truths about the future.
What to expect:
- A nostalgic story about mall culture and generational change
- Why do many young adults delay marriage, kids, and homeownership
- How over-supporting your kids can hurt more than help
- Why struggle builds strength and how to let it happen
- And more!
