This is a good idea. I've been looking at how my goals are changing, evolving, what I've met and where I've fallen down. I should post something like this and clarify it for myself again.
I like your fostering independence project. I'm doing something very similar with my girls, after realizing this summer that Sorcha is in her first semester of junior college/last semester of high school (she's doing them concurrently and graduating a semester early) and has NO real life skills. I've made her navigate college enrollment pretty much on her own the last few days, but tagged along as a pair of training wheels (and a checkbook) just in case she had an emergency.
We are pushing the "take college classes in HS concurrently, and consider a transfer guarantee program through a local community college to save money on the first 2 years/Gen Ed coursework." thing pretty hard with my girls as we have not saved enough for tuition either.
