Warns against supporting children too much – Fredrikstad Blad

2 of 10 between 18 and 29 years old receive a financial contribution from their parents. On average, getting this age about 20,000 kroner each year, according to a recent Gallup poll.

– The young must learn to fend for themselves. You may wish that these funds are considered a loan or is associated with other conditions that make kids not consider this support as an additional income to freely use, says consumer economist Elin Reitan of Nordea to Avisenes Nyhetsbyrå (ANB).

generous contributions

Reitan seems a snittsum at close to 20,000 per year is generous, though many students are dependent on voluntary payments from their parents for survival .

– If the funds are used for shopping or city tours, there is little reason that the money supply will continue. Children should also learn to manage their money in a better way. There they will enjoy in the future, she says.

The award is granted per month is highest in the age group 26-29 years. Average sum from parents amounted to over 2,200 million. Between the ages of 22-25 years and 18-21 years is the support respectively 1.400 and 1.360 respectively.

– This monetary help may soon be a disservice if one provides funds without modification, says consumer economist.

Reitan think there are several reasons why parents are willing to help with such large sums.

– Many students are unable to survive on financial support. There is also reason to believe that the high housing prices, while the younger ones constantly stretching the economic elastic far when they buy housing, contributes to many is dependent on financial support from their parents to make the wheels go around, she says.

Requirement structure

Consumer Economist Nigel Sandmæl DNB is in principle in favor of parents to help their children financially.

– There must be a structure the contributions. If children get help whenever they ask for it, it becomes more wasteful than sensible spending, she says to ANB.

Two weeks before over 300,000 students consume reading rooms across the country, is still more thousands without a place to stay.

– Students are pushed out into an expensive rental market. Study aid must be increased, but it must also be built more student housing. It will also help to equalize class differences. However, it is smart to work alongside their studies, says Sandmæl. (ANB)
