Scenario

When parents disagree about financially supporting adult children's career risks

My adult daughter wants to quit her stable teaching job to become a freelance consultant, and she's asking us to co-sign a business loan since her credit isn't established. My husband thinks we should support her entrepreneurial spirit but I'm terrified we'll lose our retirement savings.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people must balance their desire to enable their child's ambitions against their own financial security and risk tolerance.
