I think that anyone who gets involved in this issue with other people's children is sitting on a high horse, is arrogant or impertinent. There are so many parents who can't give their children a penny, yet are worlds better parents than some who put aside 1k a month. In general, I think that anyone who does something financially for their children is doing something good. Whether it's 1 euro or 1,000 euros, the amount of money has nothing to do with good or bad parents. And comments along these lines are very hurtful, because nobody knows what state a family is in, what the contact is like, how much parents love their children or not. That's why I've stopped talking about this topic. Because envy and arrogance are unfortunately the order of the day when it comes to this topic. Anyone who invests even a cent here is privileged. There are so many people who have nothing to eat at the end of the month, and not just in 3rd world countries. And nobody who does anything for their children should be criticized because of the size of a sum of money.

@TimundStruppi In my opinion, financial education (in addition to general education) is much more important for the child. What good is it if the child can't handle money? You can blow 20 or even 200k relatively quickly - without having to be extremely aware of it. My partner inherited a five-figure sum when she was ~20, which - according to her own statement - simply disappeared over time. Well, she also paid off her bafög debts, but the rest was lifestyle. The scholarship of €1,200 a month was still there for her. Ultimately, this was probably because she had to do without a lot beforehand and made up for it accordingly.
She only learned how to handle money "properly" very late (through me 🙃 ). As her parents weren't really good with money, it was naturally difficult for her.
