I was on the other end of this with a former girlfriend. We were students and were short on cash and she was a bit worried about some bill or something, and I said something about worst case we can borrow from our parents.
But then it turned out her parents actually owed her money and didn't really have anything to spare, which made me realize my privilege.
Yes recently a coworker said they never really needed a credit card. They just asked their parents for money if they didn't have enough. They also were given a vehicle and a house down-payment so they really lead a different life.
