Each got the same 
We pay cell bill and car  insurance til graduation from college once they got jobs cut off. Each got car like an old civic or rav 4 to use from sophomore year college til they buy their own after jobs we gained. All worked summers in HS and college . Undergrad we paid for most things they contributed with summer jobs and jobs during the year. Grad school they paid everything except we paid for health ins til age 26.

I grew up with nothing.
I know what it is like to go to bed hungry.

It is not lost on me that we are extremely lucky, [/quote]

This was exactly what my parents did. Support through college graduation but then got cut off once I had secured my post college job (even though I only made 42k). It worked out well for me. I had to learn how to budget and live within my means and was motivated to grow my career and earnings.  I think many parents do a disservice to their adult children. Do you have so little faith in your kids ability to thrive?? [/quote]
