Okay, maybe it depends.

Yeah.

Then we said, how would you approach this conversation with your mum without it turning into conflict?

58% of people said, I would have an honest chat and explain my feelings.

36% of people said, honestly, I'd avoid it altogether.

And 6% of people said, I would bring in a third party like a financial advisor.

Mm-hmm.

I don't know that a financial advisor would really be much help in this situation.

No.

If I'm honest.

It's more like... This is a moral dilemma.

Moral dilemma, yeah.

Yeah.

Then, of course, as always, we said, what is your two cents?

And we got heaps of responses.

First person said, it's your parents' money, not yours, which I agree with.

But then on the flip side, somebody else said, help should be equitable, which I think is a really interesting concept because...

equity, not equality.

Equity is the concept of everybody receiving what they need to put them on an equal footing.

And so if we both needed to buy something, it was a hundred dollars and I had $90 and Beck had 50.
