Truthfully, I don't think it will matter one way or another, if your daughter is already aware of financial priorities and budgeting. [b]My parents paid everything for me, and I grew up to very careful with money.

I strongly discourage you from stressing her out, or creating a conflict. If she agrees to pay and it doesn't affect her grades, etc, to earn her own money by getting a job, then wonderful! If not, don't insist on it. You already said you could afford it.

My parents also paid all my expenses until I had graduated college, and I also became very careful with my own money.  I think it's a myth (maybe wishful thinking?) that kids whose parents pay for everything will grow into spoiled, lazy spendthrifts.  My parents didn't have a ton of money, but they made sure to pay for whatever my brother and I needed, for which we are forever grateful and appreciative.  The expectation was that we would spend our time and energies on our school work, which we did.  [/quote]
