You may have to wean him off the Mommy Bank, but do it now before he turns difficult child and has no health insurance. We tried to pay our sons bills and he would turn over his paycheck....he complied with this, but didn't learn a thing from it.....Your son needs to learn how to swim in the sea of finances, so take off the banker life jacket and let him learn in the shallow end, before he needs money for rent, utilities, life insurance, etc. [/QUOTE]
