POV:Your Son Learned You Held $2M in Company Stock—Then Promised His Wife a New House

Your son slides a mortgage gift letter for $180,000 across the kitchen table. He’s already told his wife you’ll fund the down payment because your Northlake stock is worth more than $2 million. But the shares are in a private company, and the $784,000 house would still leave them with a $4,870 monthly housing cost. This story follows how you help your son and daughter-in-law rethink the purchase, pay down debt, and save for a home they can afford—then match some of their down payment without making their budget depend on your stock.
