The Prudential has dubbed those who refuse to leave home as"kippers" or "kids in parents' pockets eroding retirementsavings". Recent research concludes 6.8m over-18s live withtheir parents. Less than half pay rent, and many parentsprovide cash to spend. Does this scenario sound familiar? 'As a parent you've spent over 20 years diligently caringfor and raising your children. Financially supporting themand ensuring they receive the best education possible.They've attended University, graduated with a respectabledegree and are ready to set up their own home. You're nowlooking forward to more free time withless financial obligations.

In fact, one in sevenparents with adult children have remortgaged or taken out aloan in an attempt to help them.Couple this with an ageing population, widespread concernsabout retirement pensions and the long gone days of a 'jobfor life', it's undeniable that without taking positiveaction many parents and their children face uncertainfinancial futures.
