Luckily it looks like my kids will have plenty of scholarship opportunities and we will probably help them out with whatever else they need. But I do expect them to at least get a part-time job and not think they're on a 4 year free party from mom and dad.

Yeah, I've had a job since I was 15. I never had an allowance as a kid, and they didn't give me money for things when I was older either.

They just refused to let me take out any loans, so they paid for college and helped with rent.
