To ask, if you or your DH have well off parents, do they support you financially?

I have recently come across several adults, in their thirties, who are supported financially by well off parents.

One acquaintance has told me that both her parents and her in-laws are millionaires and they both give her and her DH a generous monthly allowance. Her parents bought their house and cars for them. She is a SAHM and her husband runs a hobby-type business that doesn't generate very much money.

It has got me wondering whether lots of people are bankrolled by parents/in laws/other family members.

DHs parents don’t have anything to give us but would give us everything if they did, they’re lovely and kind. My DM gives me money when needed, lives abroad and pays for us to visit so she doesn’t have to visit us. The money comes in very handy as the past few years have been a bit of a struggle but my DM hands out the money so she doesn’t have to feel guilty that she doesn’t put any time in. We get £50 In our accounts for birthdays and Christmas without a card or phone call, she’s rarely available to speak on the phone and we see each other twice a year. One time when we put the effort in and one time when we bug her until she comes. I would much rather her be more involved in our lives than get the handouts but as I can’t have the former, the latter will have to do and I’ll be grateful I get anything.
