Parents report these transfers are being used to help cover expenses associated with education, general living costs \u2014 such as for mortgages, rent, and cable bills \u2014 and cell phone bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parents&#8217; spend on children&#8217;s expenses: 2019 RBC Family Finances Survey<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"table-swipe wp-block-rbc-responsive-table-block\"><thead><tr><th scope=\"col\">Education costs<\/th><th scope=\"col\">69%<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Living expenses<\/td><td>65%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cell phone bills<\/td><td>58%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Financial support is part of a shifting \u201cnew normal&#8221; for adult children<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents providing financial support to adult children is also reflected in the increase in adult children continuing to live in their parent&#8217;s home after age 20. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www12.statcan.gc.ca\/census-recensement\/2016\/as-sa\/98-200-x\/2016008\/98-200-x2016008-eng.cfm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Statistics Canada data<\/a> shows that across the country, just over 3 in 10 young adults between the ages of 20 and 34 live with their parents, with nearly half still living at home in Toronto and Oshawa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Statistics Canada concludes this is, \u201c<i>most likely the result of a combination of economic realities, including the high cost of housing, and cultural norms that favour young adults living with their parents for longer.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Assessing the impacts on parents&#8217; financial plans<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re a parent providing financial support to a child over 18, you may share these concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that&#8217;s the case, one option would be to open a dialogue with your adult children to create a more formal structure to govern how your financial support is provided. For example, if you haven&#8217;t done so already, you may want to discuss limits on the amount of financial support you&#8217;re willing to provide, and the length of time over which you&#8217;re willing to provide it. You might consider establishing conditions, such as requiring a plan for your child to take steps to become financially self-sufficient over time. Ensuring there is clarity between parents and children about how support is provided can help reduce potential conflicts that may arise as you try to find harmony between helping your children, and meeting your own financial planning goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Taking care of your retirement readiness<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The impact on your finances \u2014 including their retirement readiness \u2014 should not be overlooked. Just as your adult children&#8217;s need for financial support may have been made worse by the pandemic, your retirement plans may have shifted too. COVID-19 may have reshaped other parts of your financial plan as well, including a need or desire to provide support to aging parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now may be a good time to review of your retirement plans. You can get specific and targeted advice about how to incorporate financial support into your financial plans, and find balance between all of your financial goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
