15. Really encourage him

That's what my son did and he graduated with no debt and just landed an excellent career position. It took him awhile, but he is not saddled with debt like all of his friends. Give him a bigger nudge, especially since he's still living at home. His job may not pay a lot but he has little overhead since he's with you and he can take a credit on his taxes as well.
