[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because it is that much more expensive to be on our my own plan, I’ve stayed on my dad’s phone plan but I send him the full annual amount each January. In my family we share things like streaming services and other membership perks one of us has to save money and resources all around. I especially respect my Dad for allowing this because in my mind it’s the one gift I couldn’t buy myself (a $25/mo grandfathered in amazing plan with 5+ users and all the perks)[/quote]

This is what we've done for my DS.  He graduated from college two years ago.  Our plan breaks down how much each line costs so he pays us for his line.  We started charging him when he started his job - about two months after he graduated.  It might get a little tricky when he wants to upgrade, having to call mom or dad to give approval to the cell phone company for the upgrade.  But we'll deal with that when he wants an upgrade.

He was still on our auto insurance policy until he bought his own car.  Again, he paid us about $150 a month to keep him on our plan.

He'll stay on our health insurance until he's 26.  It doesn't cost us anything since we're on a family plan and he has two younger siblings.  I'm not sure what will happen when the youngest graduates from college because we will no longer need a family plan.  But that's still several years away.[/quote]
