[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 64263, member: 439"] I'm glad he's finally coming home. Now it the time to start thinking about what he will do with the next phase of his life. What job prospect is he looking at? He doesn't have to wait until he's actually at home, he could start drafting letters, etc. Will he need a car? If so, that is where his money should be going (or being saved for). Does he have any plans at all for college? If not, what does he think he's going to do for the near future? Just working and partying should not be an option, unless he totally out of your house and living on his own. As soon as he's gainfully employed, he needs to start paying rent. You can base it on his salary, but he must be paying something toward his upkeep. As already stated - YOU can save that for him to use when he moves out, but don't let him know that. If he doesn't want to pay rent, then he better be doing things around the house such as lawn care, maintainence, etc. - things that you may actually be paying someone to do now. Oh - and no job with your husband. Make him go out and get his own job. It's a life skill he will need forever. Even if it's "just" McD. - he'll learn how to fill out applications, interview, etc. [/QUOTE]
