Supporting your adult children financially can feel like the right thing to do—especially when the world feels harder for them than it was for you. But how do you help without sacrificing your own security, peace of mind, or retirement plans?

In this episode, Nathan and Jordan dive into one of the most emotionally loaded topics they encounter in client conversations: helping the kids. They explore the important questions many people skip over—Should you help? Can you afford to? How do you do it fairly and safely?—and guide you through the planning and communication needed to make clear, confident decisions.

From guilt and family roles to loan agreements, gifts, and guarantor arrangements, this episode is full of real-life insights and gentle prompts to help you reflect on your own position. If you're a parent navigating rising house prices, HECS debt, or adult kids living at home, this one’s for you.
