I suspect it depends on the kid. If they are naturally frugal and saving for things (and the household doesn't need the money), then why bother.

If they aren't frugal, and are otherwise suffering from lifestyle creep, then not charging them might be an injustice and setting them up for false expectations/never leaving home.

FYI, I was in the first group because my first job had pay cuts within 2 weeks, and then I discovered I basically spent minimal time at home anyway, so why pay more for it. Let me buy when I wanted to move out.

Considering the site we are, treat your effort/time debt as tech debt.

You appear to be past the point where it's beneficial, and should focus on reducing it to improve your life. Granted this is easily stated when I have no real context.

I'm fairly sure he'd have the same response if you asked them "who's a good lion" in the same tone of voice.

*I tried hard to find an animal they wouldn't know. My initial thought of cat was more likely to fail.

That's moving away from the actual horse analogy. If you can tell a guide dog to take you somewhere, you can tell a horse that too.

Granted, a journey to a new location would make this accurate.

Oddly enough, UC Berkley is public education, so it's the federal government and state government. At least technically true.
