My four kids are 26, 25, 21, and 18.

Only the 18 year old is still at home and she starts community college in a little over a week. The requirements for her living at home are that she goes to school full time, and works a part time job paying for her own cell phone and vehicle insurance, she rides a motorcycle she paid for herself and pays for gas and maintenance on our old jeep.

The 26 and 25 year old got jobs with the same company, about an hour away, after graduating college and are sharing an apartment to save money.

The 21 year old started college, dropped out and joined the Army. He is stationed about 2 1/2 hrs away.

My kids are not typical millenials.

Tom, I'm proud of you and your children. You've raised self reliant children who have grown to be independent, respected adults. Good job Dad! It will come back to you and yours 10 fold.
