Just told my 17 year old son that I'm not paying for his phone service anymore.
I can afford it, but the kid has no motivation to get a job, so I figure if I stop paying for it then he'll feel some of the pain of being broke and want to get a job.
A friend of mine said I should've waited till he was done with high school, so he could focus on grades. But I worked part time when I was in high school so I wanted him to learn some responsibility like I did at that age.
As usual, I figured the best place to go for important life decisions would be a karate forum
