Not material greediness if your kids do not have the financial means to move to you or if they have skills that are industry and location specific. Not everyone is a programmer that can work remotely.
This is an absolutely ridiculous statement. Throughout history, people have moved where the jobs are. You don’t escape poverty by staying stuck in a place with no opportunities. If you went to university and studied filmmaking for example you’re probably going to find a lot of work in LA, New York and other metropolitan areas. You’re not going to find work in a small village in the middle of Alaska. And sometimes you’ve got to slum it for a while to achieve financial independence.
And that’s presuming the reason for the financial distress is work related. There are tons of other reasons why someone might be in a poor financial situation. Maybe their spouse left them or died and now they’re a single parent. Maybe they’re a victim of fraud. Maybe they lost their house in a wildfire. Literally thousands of reasons.
Or should children just be happy to not have their own interests in life and instead just be slaves to whatever their parents wish until the parents die and the children are finally released of their bonds?
Leaving the community you grew up in to live in a tiny rental home while your kid dodges junkies' used needles in the playground just so you cam afford to take a vacation in Aruba is a uniquely modern phenomenon.
