How boomers are losing $11,011 a year to their millennial children

As a parent, it's your job to support your children on the path to adulthood. But plenty of parents continue to support their children financially once they're adults with kids of their own.

That's the finding of a 2017 2,000-person survey by TD Ameritrade. On average, millennial parents ages 19 to 37 said they received $11,011 in financial support and unpaid labor from their boomer parents, ages 50 to 70.
