Children should be able to get financial aid now. I don't see why they should have to wait to inherit. It's the parents money so they should be able to decide whatever they want to do with it. Children should get the money they need now if they really need it and only if they really need it. I don't believe that parents should just be shelling out money to their children just because they are their children.

One thing that I am deeply against is the fact that some parents just give their money to their children after the children have done nothing to earn it. What does that teach the child? Absolutely nothing. It just teaches them that they deserve money just because. Is that a valid reason? Of course not. I've seen shows such as the Housewives of Orange County and I am just disgusted by the way the children treat their parents as well as the way that the parents treat their children. The parents teach their children that money just grows on trees and you don't have to work in order to achieve a good life. All these children do is sit around all day and drink or go to parties. They are a waste to society and this is all because of their parents. The parents didn't teach the children that they have to develop a skill that people want to pay for, such as engineering. Another skill that people want to pay for is business. This would be another skill that these parents could teach their kids. Most of the people that are in those positions of extreme wealth are usually in that position because of business, why not show your kid some of that. Most of the wives on that show are real estate agents and it's no wonder why. They look good so people are more likely to buy from them. They don't have any skills it's just that they look good. Most of them got to the place they are by being playboy bunnies or something of that nature that just turns women into objects and not active productive people. Well thats enough of my little rant and I'm sure that you are now a little more informed on the issue than you were before you read this article.

Just to reiterate, I think that children should be able to get financial aid now. It is up to the parents to decide whether or not they should wait to inherit their money. After all, it is their money that they are dealing with.
