[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes to paying for college and yes to contributing to a wedding. Yes to helping with small costs after they graduate college- stay on family health plan, phone plan etc. I would expect my children to be able to pay for their own living expenses. I don’t want to do anything that hinders their own agency and motivation. I have seen too many of my friends who were supported financially fizzle and never amount to anything professional. I will always be available in a crisis though. I want them know they have someone they can lean on, if need be. [/quote] This has been our approach as well. We feel strongly that our kids need to live within their means. Friends who have given too much often yield kids who expect more at every stage and who are not able to live within their own means and save accordingly. [/quote]
