Re. kids leaving home.
When we moved out to the stix 6 years ago, my eldest boy was only 16. He chose not to move with us. He had a full time job and didn't want to leave his circle of friends. I received a hell of a lot of criticism from my family for not making him move with us. But I couldn't force him to leave his job and friends.
The best thing I did for him was to help organise his finances so he could save a substantial amount of his pay. Hehehe, it was a joint account, so if he needed to access it he had to drive up to visit me, so I could co-sign the withdrawal slip. He paid cash for his first car.
