When I & my sis started paying room & board, mom and dad(mom did the deed) put 90% back into a bank account. When I moved out to buy a house, got a nice surprise check to help with the down payment. They have helped me along the way money wise as they both said, when their parents could afford to give back, they were already set and didn't really need it. They needed the help early on. I will do the same for both my kids who are 20 & 18.
