I would not subject my kids to that pressure either. Some kids need more support, some less. They can build a nest egg when they live at home.

My kids heard their dorm-mates talk about this first-time in college -  parents not paying for college, parents expecting kids to move out or pay rent, parents expecting kids to earn their own spending money, parents selling the house and moving somewhere else while the kids were in college, parents basically using the child's room as their own hobby room etc -  not because the parents were poor but because it was just an "expectation".    It was such a mean and adversarial relationship that they were shocked when they heard it first.

Of course, parents need to help make their kids as successful and independent as they can...but this muscle needs time to build. Why are they just dropping the ball? I cannot understand it.
