Help from the grandparents

I find this article pretty depressing. I have this sense of entitlement, too, which I think is incredibly selfish and spoiled. My parents have helped me out pretty significantly (in my opinion) with getting me on my feet. A thousand bucks here and there is a ton, frankly, and I can also say honestly that I wouldn't be where I am if it wasn't for their kindness.

My wife's family is very well off. Her parents wanted to pay for half a house for us, but my parents said that's madness, our son already owns a house, we don't need to buy them one. On one hand, I don't want their money, but on the other hand, damn, we could live fat if we took their money.

Augh. Augh. What kind of man wants the handouts of his wife's family? Crap. Crap.
