Do you help support your graduate?

We’re struggling with this right now, as our graduating s will be with us this summer…as of now, he has not found a job. As long as he puts in a good effort, and help with chores around here, we will cover expenses like car insurance, health insurance and his cell phone. We will not charge him for food or rent. We will re-evaluate in Sept. But we plan to put something in writing, including an itemization of these costs. He needs to understand these expenses as they will be moving to him. And know that there is an end date to the gravy train unless we decide it makes sense to extend.

Now the hard part is agreeing on what is a reasonable effort. Hah! This should be interesting…
