As our kids grow up, who pays for what gets surprisingly complicated. Generosity is good. So is responsibility. Figuring out when the bill belongs to us—and when it belongs to them—is where things get interesting.

Talk notes:

The changing financial relationship as kids move toward adulthood

Generosity, responsibility, and knowing when each is appropriate

Looking at patterns: Is this a genuine need or ongoing irresponsibility?

What is our financial help producing?

Giving young adults real experience managing their own money

Gradually transferring financial responsibility

Setting expectations before college, weddings, cars, and other major expenses

Matching funds and shared expenses as practical options

When financial support unintentionally becomes control

Leaving with our kids what is appropriately theirs to carry
