In this episode, Les Stewart and Ryan Edwards discuss the growing trend of parents continuing to financially support adult children and how that support can quietly affect retirement goals. They explore how families can navigate conversations about financial independence, redirect former tuition payments toward retirement savings and emergency reserves, evaluate Roth conversion opportunities, review insurance and estate plans, and help recent graduates make smart decisions as they begin their careers.
