My parents paid for my college (they had an RESP), I will do the same format kids.

My parents made me pay rent while I lived at home while I saved for my own place. They then gifted me back my rent(was a couple thousand bucks) when I moved into my new place as a surprise. So I had to get approved for my mortgage and cover my entire down payment so I was ok on my own but that extra surprise money on move in day was a huge help and greatly appreciated. I will probably do the same for my kids.

I had to pay for 100% of my own luxury items (car, insurance, etc). I would do the same for my kids.
