Neither my brothers nor I ever asked our parents for a dime, nor would we have received anything had we asked. We were expected to function as full grown adults and pay our own way, once we were around age 18.
My parents gave us to age 22 and paid for college! Same thing, though. It was expected that you'd find a way to make a living and all 5 of us did. There may have been some down-payment loans for the first house- I know I had one and paid it back- but AFAIK, that was it. DS has been the same- hasn't asked for a dime since he got his first FT job 4 months after graduation. He has since replaced a totalled car, bought a house, and is married with 2 little girls. I'm very grateful.
