I live with my parents, and I give them half of my salary. Even during the time that I wasn't living with my parents, I gave them... ummm... around 30%... (I started doing this since my first job during highschool (half of whatever I made)
I believe that my parents do not actually want my money, it is just that they want me to feel that there are responsiblities as a human being... There's no free lunch. Obviously my parents "唔係等我d 錢去開飯", and for sure my parents had invested much more on me compare to what I gave them...
"比錢亦唔一定代表你好有孝心." is so true neh... it is the thoughts that count....
我想問在坐有無人以經候住老豆老母份家產?

NO! They supported me up to my Bachelor grad. Then I am on my own. no down payment, no gifts (i am the only one in my family who gives gifts!! I just realize that... ). They did pay for my first car but not the cost of gas or to maintain it. So when I got my first job after grad, most of the 1/3 of my pay cheque goes to car and gas ...etc.
Don't expect and don't think they will give me anything.
No set amount right now as we are saving for downpayment right now (married and renting right now) I just give them some money here and there and I treat them to dinner on the big days/ holidays.
