[quote=Anonymous]I like the idea of letting her make choices about the money. However, I was also thinking about the furniture. What were your plans for the furniture in that room? If that room were to become a guest room once your daughter moves out, what would you like that room to look like? (In other words, is the current furniture too juvenile for visitors?) If you want to buy new furniture for your guest room (which she will inhabit in the near future), go ahead. However, if your daughter wants furniture that she takes with her to her next apartment, she can buy it. (If you want to be generous, offer her the proceeds from a Craigslist sale of her current furniture--which she is free to organize.) Speaking as someone who had lots of garage-sale furniture in grad school (and still has some of it today!), I think there are valuable lessons in having to work ones way up to nicer stuff in life.
