He can use it for school, or let it ride and add to it for a nice retirement.

I don't want him to be dependent upon anything or anyone in his future like I am.
That is great advice- Oh to have only known when my kids were 4. That said, the one thing that I did right was use those buddy passes- The kids have been all over the world.
