So instead of having the chicken learn from hismistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chickena special gift -- a new car so that he can just drive across the road and notlive his life like the rest of the chickens.

Send them a gift card at xmas if they're doing ok.

If all I do is pay off my home in time to die and gift it to my kid, that is mission accomplished.

What they sometimes allow is gifting for the down payment from an immediate family member.

For an investment property, gift funds cannot be used. 

I gave them a small "welcome' gift and asked them several times (during their 2 weeks) if  they need any help or if they comfortable.

That was an incredible gift that they gave me.

I'm happy you've reached a level of financial independence where you have rolls of cash and change plate that most would consider a good sized amount of money.With such wealth I hope to hear more from you regarding your philanthropic deportment.

Give yourself the gift of confidence and peace-of-mind that comes from having no pressure to perform before you are ready.
