I'll help them out through college unless they are still there at 25 
Also, as long as I'm seeing some positive results from my help.

17. The 20 year old went to college (a junior this year). He had a full ride so as long as he keeps that we pay his car insurance and phone bill. He got married last Summer and we keep the same set up since both in school and part time jobs.
He was either 19 or just turned 20 and got married? What in the actual frick….
You didn’t teach your son that people change drastically as they graduate college and begin their careers? Also that there is not a single reason (except maaaaybe religious because she’s preggo) to get married that young? What’s the difference in marriage and dating at that age?

Do something productive.
That can be a full time job, apprenticeship, military, college, trade school etc…
Slowly learn to be independent, by earning and funding an ever increasing part of your own life. By the time they are 23-25 or so I expect them to be paying for nearly all their own stuff(depending on the path they chose at 18 it could be sooner).

Go to college, have a part time job and help with some of their expenses. My oldest is a junior in college and wants to be a doctor so I expect to help her longer because of her education path and that’s fine.

I sat them down and told them they had three choices:
1. College degree in a field that would enable them to payback their student loans.
2. Entry level job in their chosen career.
3. Military

I think the Navy or USCG are probably the best options at this point (yes, I'm aware USN has an operational readiness problem with navigation and watch standing). The sea doesn't DGAF who you are, what color you are, etc., it will just kill you. Maybe combat arms in Army/USMC, but the USCG gets more work than anyone else these days (and pre-2001).
College can take a dive. Useless. If you don't know how to be curious by high school, it's not going to get fixed with $80k of "higher education."
Number one rule: spend less than you think you can afford.
Number two: Be prepared to relocate for the right opp.

They were both 20 when got married. High school sweethearts. Both Christians and definitely have their stuff together 100% better than I did at that age. I suggested they wait until they graduated college but that was obviously ignored.
Seven months later, both on pace to graduate in little over 2 semesters, active in church, working, and doing great. Couldn't be more proud.
