Well I am definitely going to do the rent thing. I always had to pay rent at home, if I wasn't in school and working. Saving for 3 months of expenses is a good idea. He is trying to save for a car right now. We live in a small town with no other transportation to the nearest city. He recently had to turn down a job in the field he is most interested in, because he did not have transportation, and it would not work out to use my car. Paying insurance for a kid his age will definitely be a rude awakening, as it will be at minimum $300 per month.
