He loaned me 50 grand when I was 21.  I paid him off in a couple of years.  
I guess my folks weren’t rich like 1250’s. If I read him right he got 5 grand when he was 6 and another 5 grand when he was 14.  Small town US could have bought two houses for that in those days. 

At 22 I bought my first house with 50k down, at 23 I bought my second with 25k down,at 25 I bought my third with 25k down.  Never borrowed a cent from my parents.

That’s nice. I could have gone that route but this worked out well.

I didn’t have the luxury of a father. So if a 21 year has a dad that’s willing to step up and give their kid a hand, what’s wrong with that? As long as the kid has gratitude and pays it back, what’s the big deal? I know damn few 21 year olds that are willing to accept the responsibility of home ownership. I think that your simply being a piece of shit over this.  

What happened to your dad, mine was disabled by the time I was two, so he was actually a drain on mom who carried the ball.

How does that math work? You are an engineer no? So assuming you graduated university at 21 with zero debt you saved $50k in one year?

Yup. I save half and he loaned me the rest.  Life was easy back then. I built it for less than 100 grand and then put an 80 grand addition on years later.  Who Would have thought it would be worth well over a million more so quickly?  
 

what’s your place worth?  You still owe the bank for it?

I paid 200k for my unit back in 2003 and it's now worth over 800k, who would have figured, it's all clear.

I saved 30k and had 20k in savings prior.  My parents paid for my education.:bc:

 

Oh Frenchy, that was just my portion, my bro also had the same, so we ended up putting down well over 50% down.:bc:

I thought that was a wedding thing?  I have a feeling we all get our Guido knowledge from Hollywood.  Lolll

My Italian buddies growing up always got at least a grand for their bdays. Some parents would put it in an account and then get them a Z/28 or Mustang GT with it at 16 or 17. :lol:
