We are paying for college. We expect to transition to what you describe.I hope my current tween and teen are independent. If either is willing to live at home to save some money post college I'm all for it. I also hope they are relatively close, so I can cook them some food or help out with any future grandkids. So I'd really like to provide a mostly time based subsidy.
Beyond that, we may also copy our parents with modest to large, functional gifts. When we purchased our house (we were young then), mine bought us a new garage door and opener, while my spouse's bought patio furniture. I remember feeling like these things were helpful, and hopefully, we expressed enough gratitude.
