How Much Help Are College Kids Getting From Parents?

    Generation Y still depends on their parents more than one might expect, according to a new study.

    FOX News Radio’s Bill Vitka reports:

    When college kids need money, it’s the bank of mom and dad that most of them turn to.

    More than 60% of young adults 19 to 22 get some financial help from their parents according to a University of Michigan study.

    It’s not just pin money. The average amount, which includes tuition, rent, and transportation, is roughly $7,500 a year.

    What it means, according to one researcher, is that young adults take longer to leave home, longer to get married, and longer to meet the world on the their own.
