Wealthy parents aren’t just funding their kids—they’re dealing out just enough to keep them hooked. This isn’t just about trust funds or allowances in your 30s; it’s about control. A perfectly curated lifestyle, but never quite enough to break free. Dependency 101. Bethany Ball’s What’s To Do About Solomons and the NY Mag story "The Last Taboo" both nail this dynamic: money as a leash, privilege as a trap. A woman ditches her love because her parents won’t fund her life with a state school grad. She resents them, but she complies. Because staying means status, and leaving means loss. This tension is at the heart of my book To Have and Have More—a satire of class, privilege, and the kids who will grow up to make these same compromises. What’s the price of breaking free? For some, it’s simply too high #wealthtrap #goldenhandcuffs #richparents #trustfundkids #tohaveandhavemore #sanibelauthor
