Hi all, my wife and I have a senior in high school and we were probing him this evening about what his plan was after high school. He said he plans on finishing vo-tech and enrolling at the local community college. He also told us he has been looking into getting an apartment with his girlfriend. I explained to him that there is a lot more that goes into living on your own other than just paying for rent. I started naming off all the different expenses he can expect and that if his girlfriend doesn't have a job then he's stuck with paying for everything. He said he understood but I'm pretty sure it all went over his head. Has anyone else had a similar experience with a child and does anyone have any advice or suggestions as to how I can get him to understand what it not only takes to live on your own but also with a girlfriend?
