Our 18 year old son has been super spoiled most of his life. He has always gotten pretty much whatever he wants. It's starting to backfire on us a bit. Now he even gets $419/month from my Soc Security disability payment while still in high school. He wants to save ALL that money so he can move out asap, by next spring or summer. He does help us out a lot to fix up rental properties that we have....on his own, he offers his help. We pay his $560/month car note, insurance, $370 for private school, he has our gas card, we pay his mobile phone of $50, buy his clothes, etc etc. He is a pretty decent kid, makes great grades, etc.
I would like to know if other parents make their 18 year olds pay for part of their own expenses, especially when they say they are saving to move out !! To me, he should be required to at least pay us a small monthly amount. He works every weekend on our rental property. PLEASE GIVE ME ADVICE!!! THANKS!!!!!
