Make or Break Your Retirement!
The Prudential has dubbed those who refuse to leave home as"kippers" or "kids in parents' pockets eroding retirementsavings". Recent research concludes 6.8m over-18s live withtheir parents. Less than half pay rent, and many parentsprovide cash to spend.
Does this scenario sound familiar?
'As a parent you've spent over 20 years diligently caringfor and raising your children. Financially supporting themand ensuring they receive the best education possible.They've attended University, graduated with a respectabledegree and are ready to set up their own home. You're nowlooking forward to more free time withless financial obligations. BUT, due to no fault of yours,your well educated, talented, highly motivated offspringcannot afford to leave home for possibly another 5, 10 oreven 15 years.'
This is a reality for many parents right now! A recentsurvey for BBC2's Money Programme(
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4075536.stm) found thathigh property prices and debts often prevent offspringleaving home well into their twenties and thirties. Furtherresearch, by independent market analyst Datamonitor, foundthat 67% of 18-24 year olds across Europe still relied ontheir parents for housing in 2004. In fact, one in sevenparents with adult children have remortgaged or taken out aloan in an attempt to help them.Couple this with an ageing population, widespread concernsabout retirement pensions and the long gone days of a 'jobfor life', it's undeniable that without taking positiveaction many parents and their children face uncertainfinancial futures.
