A three-step script for parents to ask a college graduate to start paying their own cell phone bill. Start with empathy, ask if it's reasonable, then explore what amount wouldn't overwhelm them. The goal is a low-conflict conversation that signals adulthood.
Here's the hack that you need to get your college grad off your cell phone bill. Now, I know a lot of parents have this problem, and they're like, yeah, whether they're living at home or not living at home, they're still on my cell phone plan. And it's an awkward conversation to have, so here's exactly how you approach it. First of all, you start the conversation with, it sounds like. You can say, It sounds like it's been really nice having us cover some of your expenses. And they'll probably say, yeah, it has been nice. And then you say, would it be ridiculous for you to start covering your cell phone bill? And they'll probably say no to that. So the next thing you say is, I'm curious, what would it look like for you to cover your cell phone bill without it being overwhelming. And there you go. That's all you say. So let me know in the comments if this is helpful, and follow me for more.
