[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are responsible for their car insurance, gas, cell phone bill, food, etc. As soon as mine are 18, they are out of the house and working. We own rentals and we rent to them, but they are expected to manage their money and their time, to be responsible, and to make their own way in life. A car is a necessity, so they had better find jobs that pay well. I don't coddle. Life is hard. I also don't pay for college. If you want to go, you have to work for that, too. Scholarships are available. The harder you work for something, the more you appreciate it. [/quote]
I am the opposite. I don't care for anything that isn't easy. The effort kills any enjoyment out of it. I can't enjoy money I earn, but I enjoy money I win on a random lottery ticket. I didn't have to pay for college (scholarships) and I enjoyed the college years. I hope that kids will make their own way through life. In a meantime, they work odd jobs for the sake of having the job, they know how much, approximately, they can spend on our credit cards without us questioning their spending. Until they are solidly on their own, we will help with necessities like cars or phones or food. [/quote]
