You are UMC at a minimum if your parents are "helping" you with a downpayment, aka giving you tons of free money. I certainly haven't gotten anything. |

Date: May 23rd, 2018 10:11 PM Author: Bearded Provocative Persian Legal Warrant I guess it a class thing. Like they had prole values and not matter the money they saved...whereas umc people born that way and maintain it have certain values like a bootstrap mentality with kids. Which is fine generally but not really reflecting what boomers did to the landscape. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3984912&forum_id=2#36115624) |
|
Date: May 23rd, 2018 10:31 PM Author: Bearded Provocative Persian Legal Warrant thinking about it a bit more, i can see a UMC parent thinking "i gave tim everything he needed to be successful, at least successful enough to save a down payment on a house" and them actually being 100% right and justified in feeling that way whereas a working class parent may think "eh, he didn't have it too easy growing up. now i have a little i can give it." i know that's how my dad viewed it and i'm sure my FIL thinks the same way.

The rest could go under lifetime exemption from gift/inheritance tax.
Also, gift tax is paid by the giver. |
|
Date: May 23rd, 2018 10:28 PM Author: Bearded Provocative Persian Legal Warrant the lifetime exemption is something like 5 million dollars. most of the stingy bastards here will never have to worry about it. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3984912&forum_id=2#36115712) |
