My sister moved out of the house a few months after graduating from HS in 1970. My stepdad helped her find a job, too.
I basically moved out of the house after HS, going to a university 900 miles from home. I had an ROTC scholarship, all academic expenses paid, and my summer job paid my room and board.
When my daughter commented that my wife and I weren't "supporting her college dreams sufficiently", I responded without rancor, "you've just completed your first semester in college, and your mother and I have already spent more than your mom's parents spent for her bachelors degree, and my parents for my bachelors and masters degrees."
She's now 33, has a great job, and is raising her soon to be 10 YO son right.
Yep, exactly - in the 2 months between - I bought an old one-story Ranch house - made it all handicap accessible, moved them down to MD.
Emptied their house - fixed it up for sale, sold it ( This is Detroit, it sold for $62,000)...
They then granted me POA - found out they have large 6-figure accounts...
Old School - afraid of running out of $$$$..
