I got about $1500 total in help from my parents throughout my university and felt really bad about it. I then got an old beater vehicle as a graduation present worth about $1000. I feel like that's what I might do with my kids. I wouldn't pay for vacations though. No need to give them expensive tastes. Help them when they need a hand for a step up, but that's it.
My parents are now both retired and have offered me an interest free loan for house upgrades, but I've turned them down. I know my siblings have received help for house down payments.
