For all those saying she was given tons of money by her parents just think about Compound Interest! Not by any means saying she is "normal", whatever that means, but if at Birth she was given (maybe a grandparent gift or parents set away that "nest egg" ) $10,000 by age 22 it would have grown to $50,000+ (at a good yet not overly risky 8%).

Mumsy and Daddums helping their "kids" with a down payment isn't that uncommon, even for older adults who've had plenty of time to establish themselves financially. If it weren't for the bank of mom & dad a large percent of real estate deals wouldn't happen, even for married 40-somethings. If you're that old and you still have to mooch money off of mom & pop, you've obviously done something wrong with your life.

Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather give money to a 22 year old kid to buy a modest place to get them started, rather than help a douchebag loser kid into his or her 40's who's made two decades worth of crappy financial decisions.
