[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it can be taken care of with $1000-1500, make him take care of it on his own. His mistake, his problem. If he doesn't have the money, he needs to earn it. We may help kids (as kids and as young adults) figure out solutions but we don't do it for them. [/quote] I agree with this. My DH got in some serious legal trouble at 18 and had to pay his own legal bills, and to this day that made quite an impression on him as the fees and the consequences were significant. His parents did not pay - he got a credit card and paid it off while working at a job. He says it is one of the great lessons of his life (that he wish he didn't have to learn.)[/quote]
