Hi I know it's not my business, but it sort of is, as we are funding his university halls. The money for his university halls is paid for by his grandparents who currently have all of the 'family wealth'.
Every uni holidays, my son jets off somewhere abroad on holidays. He usually goes to somewhere off the beaten track in Eastern Europe and says it's very cheap. He LOVES travelling, and so doesn't really buy new clothes as he says he is skint because he likes spending his money seeing new places.
This summer I suggested that he get a job and he's said no thanks, he's going to get flights for somewhere far away and go back packing. In his opinion he needs to make the most of having all this time off before he starts his long long hours graduate career. I think it's wasteful to spend all this money travelling when he could be using it to save for a flat.
Am I being an old grump and he should spend time travelling, or should he come back down to earth
