  • Family drama is normal
  • but when adult children feel entitled to their parents' money, it might be time to ask: is it time to cut them off? That's the dilemma one 74-year-old business owner is facing.

The article from MSN Money discusses the dilemma faced by a 74-year-old man named John, who must decide between supporting his adult son, who exhibits a sense of entitlement, and maintaining his struggling business.
