Weirdly, I found out about this previously because some of my peers who are no longer friends assumed by parents helped me out in this way. In actuality, my parents had no money to help because they were nearly ruined by 2008 and I bought my house at market bottom with my own money, having been saving diligently since I was bagging groceries in high school. In fact, I don't know a single person who had their parents help them make their downpayment, but all of my peers in my career are homeowners and Millennials. Frankly, I can't even fathom asking my parents for that money in the first place.
