Bank of Mom and Dad
Tue, 6 Apr 2010|
Many families—upper-middle-class professionals—are suddenly downwardly mobile. For years, they used rising family wealth to help foot the bill for college, down payments for houses and start-up cash for children's careers. But pay cuts, layoffs and the decadelong flatlining of the stock market mean many families can no longer help their children. Is this a tragedy or how it should be?

That is the toll free number of the Howie Carr -- -- like to join us here this afternoon every. Weekday afternoon. I think what we'll do first is we're gonna get to this yesterday and we never dead it's and smooth Wall Street Journal yesterday it's pretty interesting story. Bank of mom and dad shots -- amid white collar struggle. You know what it's saying is that all these people who we're making a good living until the recession started in 20082009. Whenever whenever they you wanna. Arbitrarily affixed to it. They can't pay for their kids anymore they can't pay for their kids. To live in -- home they can't pay for the kids college tuition. The family income of the family of mar -- Johnson this is Fairfield Connecticut is a fifth of what it used to be. And the children are about to feel the -- missed The Wall Street Journal. Mr. Johnson's two oldest are attending his alma mater Johns Hopkins university and annual cost of 50000 dollars apiece. We save like crazy from the minute they were born he says but it all fell to pieces. Many family such as the Johnson's upper middle class professionals are suddenly downward -- mobile for years they abused. Rising family wealth to help Phil foot the bill for college down payments for houses and start up cash and cash for children's careers. But pay cuts layoffs in the decade long flat lining of the stock market may mean many families can no longer help their children. That a bad thing or not I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing. This comes as young adults could use a financial helping him more than ever the unemployment rate. For workers aged sixteen to 29 was fifteen point 2% in March the highest rate since 1948. The average length of unemployment 31 weeks is at its highest level since 1948. Many young people are now moving home to save on -- As you well know. How many hours have we devoted to the subject of losers. Young kids young adults I should say whoever move back yet. This predates the recession by many years. About 21% of young adults say they've either moved in with a friend or relative or had a friend -- relative move in with them because of the economy. I have a lot of friends after I get out of college or a bunch of us all live together but what's new about that that's -- you're running -- -- -- got a place together right. A -- positive -- yeah that's what I'm saying though that make it its Alec this is something new that you know in the past kids moved into the it into some my highrise apartment were able to afford 5000 a month for rent that's ridiculous they've always been they've always. Room together. Many parents who were set to retire are now delaying it to compensate for battered retirement accounts leaving even fewer openings for young workers to fill -- There -- an additional 500000. Workers over the age of 65 in the workplace. Compared with 2007. Before her December 2008 lay off from bank of America corporation is an executive recruiter Diane -- body dream house for her family 3600 square feet in Orlando. The family has now been forced to sell -- home last November they had a 650000. Dollar mortgage on -- but they sold for 375000. -- lender forgave the difference is part of the sale but the family still has loans outstanding for fifty large. They've since moved with 12100 square foot two bedroom house nearby that there running for 12100 a month. Many parents are less able to help their children after graduation as well old boo -- whom. Anjelica whore you -- a 26 year old living in LA has put her. Photography and sculpture career on hold you should -- one of us speaker Pelosi skids. A fourth pornography and sculpture career this year filmmaker to a documentary filmmaker. Since her parents pulled the financial plug earlier this year after the families granite countertop business suffered. -- ms. point doses moved in with her boyfriend cut spending and earns about a thousand dollars a month doing freelance design work and babysitting. My artistic career is put on the side because I have to make a living she says hopeful all. 18774694322. Here's another -- -- said this is the guy Maurice Johnson the guy from Fairfield Connecticut who -- who the world. Is making one -- he was a managing director -- G capital. He paid one point five million dollars for his Fairfield Connecticut home and took -- a mortgage of 852000. Dollars. 852000. So other words she paid he had cash. -- had some kind of that he was able to put down. Over 600000. Dollars on this house. Mr. Johnson figures he can realistically sell -- for 800000 today so the 600000 at all not. Given the numbers the family is trying to avoid moving I can see why and recently refinanced their house and a lower interest rates. It's emasculated mr. Johnson says I'm supposed to be providing for my kids but I can't. I'm sorry. Tough luck you know kids kids can't provide for you anymore no I don't feeling of emasculated. A fuel our cars our hardest part is stone nine I do Cindy. I do there's no question about you know what you -- said the may. You know I'm sorry I'm sorry Howard you regulate human going to be able go to -- know you're gonna have to your gonna have to fake. You're in state residents in North Carolina otherwise you're gonna have to go to -- to your from -- from north North Carolina for Massachusetts. Nobody ever nobody ever like shed a -- for me CN because why should I mean other resilient -- -- secretly. Nobody I would think that would've wanted the shed a tear at least tell me that they thought felt bad about it I don't I can't I can't really worry that much about it. I tell my kids so I say you know you know what. This X number of I'm like this kid did this guy Morris Johnson and in one sense I was I put I put aside money for awhile for that -- for college. Last year I wish I realized every time most put aside a few hundred bucks a month I was having automatically taken out of my checking account. In about a month it would be worth. But 20% last night put down. So I decided you know what I'm not gonna -- any more money into psychology count how about putting into a cash fund and sort of a stock for -- -- -- -- I'm paying them my mortgage syndicate campaign on my mortgage and -- -- putting your putting -- stuff in the in a savings account every week from my putting more money into their accounts it's they're -- it's it's their problem I mean it's like you all give him some money. But out after the money runs out it's their problem and solve my problem. That way you know but again nobody ever since nobody ever step I've been set Howard your problem is my problem. So you know wide. What goes around comes around among don't worry about it when -- break the cycle now I don't think so I I think the cycle must continue. 18774694322. Are you having are you are you. Guilt ridden about being able to give your kids less money -- do you say to your kids I'm sorry I'm sorry kids. I'm just not going to be able come up with the same kind adult that I would have minimal come up with a few years ago or does it bother you I think it's good for the kids to have to learn. How to fend for themselves the it was good for my character. Where -- what a fine upstanding citizen I've turned into Cindy because of mighty because of my. Financial hardships in and my early life. You know brings a tear in my eye and I put as as Archie Bunker once that I -- pull myself up by my bootstraps you know. And though my kids can do the same damn thing I don't care one H dude do you worry about this do you worry about your kids a mob you know the provide as much for your kids. I don't worry about it and you know what my kids are doing and home I'm sorry it's just not gonna happen. See here's the problem that I see and you included you've raised a bunch of Hothouse Flowers out there. Not just you everybody else I see it you know and also it's a kids these days. Where they've been handed everything given everything it's going to be incredibly rude awakening to realize that they have to support the results. And that's part of the problem now people gave them everything and now they're expecting everything that's what it's guilt things coming in. Well again I I don't have too much guilt on myself. I think it's good form you know my daughter said to me last night though one on their watch in the game met with me for awhile and they so what if I got and the UN say. Carolyn said this team -- Carolina I said the like get in the UK given the UNC what are your kid and and she said about mass bay community college I said that's more like it -- she went from appeared to tell me there and when one swift move there was no I'm between.

We don't have a mortgage anymore we've been -- that culture many times over the years and warned everybody that -- was coming. I think YouTube you're. But not blinded does but the -- than that giant 21 century. Industrial economy that's been exposed to. That overseas. Now it's inevitable you have to be able to deal with a short a period of change and adjustment I don't like it but I landed on my feet my job -- India. Right I went on my feet to -- -- I I came up in the newspaper industry what do you think that what's become of the newspaper industry you know. Exactly no one of these people to do work. You know you want to go from not the three bedroom -- a three bedroom modest all -- -- or five bedroom. The mansion well good luck here because you. If you're reap your rewards that's what we had built I. I feel I feel a little bit badly -- them. But. That's just get where we're probably going to edited -- depression. We'll probably have a threshold of one now. And these Gibraltar apple actually just might know what it thought oh my kids are fairly young. They know exactly what's going on in no -- assured anecdotal little reward that I cut the other day. Good oh look at that enable it future Massachusetts congressman came along driving an -- truck.

Yes it did so -- it quite remote the other kids. And then we came back in I think jacket YouTube box put you pretty backdoor that yeah that and then doubled my report. No good that's good he's figured it out you know you don't need you don't need to always you you don't go to the ice cream truck when there's ice cream in the freezer. Economic it'll be the cheap bastard what do you remember it's the same one that told -- when he was or five years old. That you had a outback cobalt workable but. I adore I several people told me that bill but I'm gonna I'm gonna think that I we're we're call what is that it was his his statement that. Drove me to stop combing over although I don't think I ever comb over -- really built thanks for the thought. But by 1877469432218774694322.
