We're a family of 4. While the kids have been in school, we have paid for almost everything (clothing, food, gas, etc). DD just graduated college and is working, but still living at home. DS is entering his Junior year of college. I'm curious what impact on expenses others have seen (excluding the college tuition going away) as the kids move from school to working, while still living at home? I have not shifted basic expenses to DS yet (cell phone, car insurance, health insurance, etc), but hope to do so gradually, and was thinking about having her pay rent starting January.
So, for example, could $100k/yr expenses go to $80k simply from them paying their own way? Or am I too optimistic?
