Wisanow Survey - Empty Nest or Packed to the Rafters?

WISANOW SURVEY


Empty Nest or Packed to the Rafters?

 

We are TVNZ Good Morning on Friday 11th November, discussing whether we are giving our adult children financial support and whether we will be able to leave them an inheritance.  After all, in many instances, we have paid for their University education and helped them into their first home.  Should we supporting them now when they need it or saving our money and leaving them an inheritance?  Should we allow them to live at home as adults and are their rules surrounding this?

 

We value your opinion so please take the survey below.
