Considering the remaining parent of a couple will have a tax free inheritance allowance of 650k and this is not factoring the special new rules on primary residences this government brought in, most people are not really escaping tax because most parents don't have estates worth enough to start with.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

My eldest is in his 2nd year at Uni but has nearly £10K saved. None of it came from the BOMAD. He has had a couple of Summer and Christmas jobs and believes Uni is for learning rather than seeing how much alcohol you can get down your neck.
We do pay for his accommodation - money we saved from our earnings, not inherited.
It can be done IF you are prepared to get your head down and get on with it, rather than sit around waiting for someone to give it to you on a plate.Comment

We put a little money every month into our kids' accounts since they were small. It built into a nice nest egg. My daughter-in-law today said that she'd got about the same money as my son, when they married. But she'd saved it all herself - from working mainly.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

The £10k he has saved is almost exactly the cost of his accommodation for two years so roughly speaking he's saved the money you gave him, which seems to be the opposite of the argument you're making about getting hep from parents!
It seems pretty stupid to dislike rich children for having rich parents. Very left wing, get on and make something of yourself rather than complaining about others insteadOriginally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

I would be interested to see how BOMAD has changed over the years. I can often remember parents helping their children.
