Same here. My parents have given of their time (occasional babysitting), but haven't needed to give financially. The only thing in that report that I've received was a period of a few months of living with my parents after college before getting my own apartment. I worked during college to pay for the portion of that cost that wasn't paid for by scholarships, so I had no debt after college. It's not that they didn't want to help financially, it's that it wasn't needed. My wife is in the same situation with her parents. They support with their time, but financial support isn't needed. Could I have done more, had an easier time starting out on my own, or gone on vacations with financial support from my parents? Probably, but I don't think that's necessary. My parents taught me what I needed to succeed on my own and that's what I see as important.
