标题:Boomers Are Sacrificing Retirement Savings to Support Their Grandkids
正文:The Bank of Mom and Dad is staying open for the grandkids as the cost of raising a child in the US tops $300,000 for the first time this year — and that doesn’t include college tuition. Nearly two in five parents of young children expect to receive financial help — or ask for it — from their own parents or grandparents in the next year. Among them, 47% said they will receive cash for day-to-day basics from relatives, according to the BMO Real Financial Progress Index survey. A quarter said they expect relatives to contribute to their children’s 529 or other savings accounts.
