[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP your older one isn't officially launched.  You are paying quite a few things for her and making excuses.

Your one in college is in college and not launched either.

You don't have clear rules, have exceptions for both and think this is complicated because you are divorced.

Either have rules or don't have them.  But you are sending mixed messages and your girls are following your lead. [/quote]

Meh, she is paying for flights home and to other relatives; health insurance, and helping her with retirement. Those are ok, I think. The health insurance will end at 26. Get her off the cell plan if that's costing you money; if it's not, dont worry about it. DO not contribute to her Roth unless you have enough saved for your own retirement.[/quote]

Don't say she is launched if she is on your health care (has employer option), doesn't pay her on bills and pays for flights to home/relatives. The college girls got a $200 haircut. That is nothing compared to the "launched" one.

Enabling OP. One overt one covert. [/quote]

If its not much more, and his insurance is better, no reason not to pay insurance.  I'd pay for flights home... not a big deal.  $200 hair cuts, no.[/quote]
