[quote=Anonymous]Our new college grad is staying in their college town and working a (menial to DCUM) service job they've been doing while a college student only with more hours since they have more free time now. Making upwards of $20/hour with benefits, paying their own rent, one roommate, found new off campus apartment $200 cheaper per month than what they had (kid is a hawk with their own dollar) while they gear up to apply to graduate school. We did offer to house our new college grad for the interim, you're always welcome to come home, but our kid likes their adult independence and working a steady job for their own paycheck. I'm 21, I need to make my own way now, moving home would feel like I'm backsliding. Love ya, but thanks no thanks, and I so respect that as their parent. I did the same at their age, even though it wasn't always easy. We still help with car insurance and medical, emergencies. Otherwise, they're paying for their own utilities, food, gas, extras. What's your kid's plan for the next 24 months? Grad school or workforce? [/quote]
