A recent Savings.com report found that half of all parents are providing regular financial assistance to their adult children. If you have adult children, do you provide regular financial assistance to them?

Over the past two years, the annual cost of raising a small child has surged from $21,681 to $29,419 — a 36% jump, LendingTree found. Much of that increase is due to skyrocketing day care costs, which rose more than 50% over the same period. Do you think daycare fees should be capped to make childcare more affordable? Yes
